This would require at least an exception for cross-architecture compiling, because that should always be started with a native compiler compiled from the same code base (a cross-build does not perform a full cycle, which is required for certain kinds compiler of changes to fully propagate in case we have to work around compiler bugs in earlier versions that are triggered by newly added compiler code). There's also the case where a platform is new and no compiler binary from the previous release exists nor can be created, in which case people often prefer to use that binary as much as possible rather than first cross-compiling one on another platform every time. Probably at least a Makefile flag should be added that can be used to override the check if you think you know what you are doing.

However: 1) This means (at least) one more place where the latest release version needs to be maintained in the Makefiles. 2) Compiling with a recent trunk version may work under certain circumstances. The current situation is that if it doesn't work, the user should resort to the latest release, but he may use something different as long as it works OK for him. The check in the makefile would disallow using a newer version in all cases which may not be wanted (especially in cases when the last release was not provided for certain platform, you'd need to always start by cross-compilation - imagine a person trying to revive support for some platform doing this multiple times per day)...

Yes, but there is no way to encode such an exception in the Makefile without requiring a bunch of svn-related information: a) the svn revision from which the compiler was built has to be added into the compiler binary (that is currently possible, but it's optional) b) the Makefile has to check the svn revision of the current checkout and compare it against the revision encoded in the compiler binary And then we will start getting mails from people having trouble in case they downloaded a source archive instead of doing an svn checkout.
