Ouch, just for fun I tried to use make -j 2 instead of a single process
make and the problem went away, i.e. the compile succeeded. That's not
very good...
Out of interest, do you always build multi-process? I'm on a dual-core
machine and when building in the background make -j N isn't very
attractive.

I think I now also got some extra help-related messages I didn't see
before, so it seems the multi-process build triggers the building of
extra stuff, which solves my build problems.

All in all, pretty strange behaviour,
