This is defined in the file lisp/autoload.el. Isn't that file present?
It's possible that CVS is somehow hosed, but this should affect all
21.5 builds, and I'm seeing a few successful ones on build-reports.
Thanks, Stephen. Yes, it is defined there; I dunno why grep didn't show
it. That moves the question back to "why wasn't 'autoload.el' run?"
because clearly the /defun/ hasn't been executed or has failed.
If I were to put a couple of "(message" lines into autoload.el, would
the batch-mode run send these to stderr? Or is there a better built-in
to use?

On my workspace they're part of the bigger append that gets setq'd
into command-line-args.
I'll look, but it still seems strange. Even if those /if/ forms are
nested inside an enclosing function it would only produce one result,
no? The several /if/ forms may return several values but I don't think
they will get where they're desired as it's written. If I correctly
understand that, should it not be a /(cond / form?
I'm enclosing my 'update-elc.el' file; could you perhaps diff it against
yours? Mine is the way it came off the 'net or as munged by configure.
