Need bbdb, tm, vm build advice

Ok, bbdb and tm are the only ones that fail in packages build smoketest, the "per-package" build phase. This phase builds each individual package in its directory in a tree that has experienced a "make distclean autoloads" from the top (packages/) level. bbdb build breaks because lisp/bbdb-vm.el has a (require 'vm-autoload). vm-autoload is a generated file, but it's not generated by "make autoloads". Perhaps it should be? The patch below seems to fix this one. I'm not sure how to "append" stuff to makefile targets, but just kind of "redefining" the autoloads target works for me, ie. the ordinary autoloads target is executed, and the "overridden" one is executed too, after it. After the fix outlined above, bbdb build still breaks, this time saying Similarly, tm build breaks with: I don't know how to fix this. Both bbdb and tm correctly REQUIRE vm, and vm's auto-autoloads has (autoload 'vm "vm-startup" [...]). Yep, 'vm is provided by vm-version.el, but shouldn't this just work? Please advise... Oh, and here's the patch to vm's Makefile. I guess this can be applied. Note that I haven't yet, and would like to hear comments before I do.
