It's not quite that simple, the define also controls cdefs.h and
although it could have been structured to move the stupid __RCSID()
down below make.h that would also have involved touching every file,
and multiple edits where there are repeated tests of the define.

IMHO, cdefs.h and __RCSID() are refinements for native code whose
negatives greatly outweigh the vague positives when interpreted in
the context of the very first required bootstrapping tool.

What I would really like to do is remove that fluff entirely from
make(1), but I limited myself to just redoing the original MAKE_BOOTSTRAP
edits with improvements.

No, and no.  You may or may not be able to directly apply your patch
to 2.0 but I'm sure any changes to get it to cleanly apply to 2.0 sources
will be trivial. Remember, pullups aren't supposed to say "pull up everything"
or "sync with current" but identify specific delta's or provide patch(1) input.

And you were going to test on 2-0 source anyway, right?
