No.

I checked the "maybe_bootstrap" target, and the code is:

maybe_bootstrap:
       @bar=`echo ./lisp/*.elc`; \
       if [ "$bar" = './lisp/*.elc' ]; then \
         echo "Your tree does not include the compiled Lisp files."; \
         echo "You need to do \`make bootstrap' to build Emacs."; \
         echo "Emacs now requires Texinfo version 4.2."; \
         exit 1;\
       fi

I am not _that_ familiar with shell code, but does "@bar" and "$bar" 
refer to the same variable?
