Mea Culpa. Running buildconf has resolved the problem.


for some reason I thought that 'make distclean' does a total clean.


Since we distribute ./configure, no, make distclean should not
remove ./configure, so you shouldn't need to rerun ./buildconf.

true. Since I was always forgeting to run 'buildconf', I've put it in my build script and always run it. But this time I was building in a different place where I didn't have my build script, so I've forgot about it.


Perhaps a ./configure target with the buildconf and sources would
be useful to either emit a warning or cause a total meltdown of
./configure.  Oh - wait, we aren't talking about make, that's a script
... but I'm sure we could come up with the equivalent.  This seems to
bite even the principals of this project way to often ;-)

Compare the target timestamps inside ./configure and re-run buildconf if the timestamp of ./configure is older than the target files?
