AFAIK, it doesn't contain 'the main entry points for bootstrapping'.  If
you have no domestic directory, the source tree will build without it.  If,
however, you do have a domestic directory, and try to upgrade from 1.3 to
-current (and possibly other cases), it appears that you will run into this
problem when upgrading the binaries that are built from the domestic tree.

What problem are/were you having?  I've gone from 1.3.2 to -current (June
sometime) and then to -current (Sep 05) without major problems on an Atari
(without domestic).
