I checked the FAQ distributed with 18.57 and the manual but didn't see
this discussed.  If I change one of the .el files distributed with emacs
and dumped when emacs is built, do I need to rebuild emacs, redump it,
or what?  I changed site-init.el and invoked emacs, but my change, adding

   ;; Set the load-path so that it includes the local lisp directory
   (setq load-path (cons "/usr/local/lib/emacs/local-lisp" load-path))

doesn't show up when I display load-path.  I'm running SunOS 4.1.1.

If I need to rebuild or redump emacs, how do I get a list of the files
dumped so I'll know ahead of time which ones require extra work?

Thanks for any help.
