That's because people *cheat* and try to skip steps, instead of
typing "make world".

It does.  If you type "make world" everything works fine.  You
don't have to do anything extra, except in rare situations involving
bootstrapping past circular dependencies.  This wasn't one of
those cases.

This problem was caused by a mistake on the part of the user, not
by anything wrong in the source tree.
