Bootstrapping Emacs means building a working Emacs executable when we
either have no Emacs executable at all or that executable isn't
working or is broken for some reason.

IOW, bootstrapping Emacs doesn't _have_ to delete all generated files,
though it _might_ delete those which are in the way of building a
working Emacs.
