This is still absolute reproducible here even with a complete fresh
checkout. "make clean-some gnus-load.el" in gnus/lisp/ alternates
between
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
rm -f *.elc gnus-load.el auto-autoloads.* custom-load.*
lispdir="/home/horn/share/emacs/site-lisp/gnus" srcdir=. emacs -batch -q -no-site-file -l ./dgnushack.el -f dgnushack-make-cus-load .

and
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
rm -f *.elc gnus-load.el auto-autoloads.* custom-load.*
make: 'gnus-load.el' is up to date.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Oh, what works is if I rename the gnus-load.el target to gnus-load.elx.
It seems that my make version behaves differently than previous versions
when a target is named like a file...
I'll go investigating with the make guys.
Bye,
