It's actually doing the right thing here (Ben[tm]). The
'bindist' and 'install' targets _don't_ build anything, they just
install files. And in the case of 'bindist' create tarballs.
So, with the way things are at the moment, you need to:
make
make (bindist|install)
The first make will build the autoloads and then the package. The
second make will install (create tarballs in the case of 'bindist').
According to the "standards" this is *WRONG*:

I'll patch XEmacs.rules to do the correct thing.
