Subject: How do I rebuild .elc files after upgrading?

When upgrading from one version of emacs to the next, applying the
diff file modifies lisp/*.el files, leaving obsolete .elc files.
There seems to be nothing in the Makefiles to rebuild these.

How does one deal with this?  If I recompile them first with the old
emacs, they have free variable references to things that didn't exist
in the previous version (is this not a problem?).  Do I have to do
some sort of two-stage bootstrap?

Why isn't this in the Makefile?

Thanks,
