Maybe it took too long for my taste, that "make" rebuilds
full/lisp.run and full/lispinit.mem.

But it's definitely a bug: if "make all" builds full/lispinit.mem,
"make all" should also rebuild it if it's out of date. If you need a
target that only rebuilds the bootstrapping's lispinit.mem, call it
"make nearly-all" or something like that.
