i've moved all stuff in to a different directory.
still when try to make dmake, it gives random errors. some times it
complaints about missing files, sometimes about the environment, etc.
none of these errors seem to be permanent (with repeated invocations, they
disappear, but new ones appear). i experienced this random errors while
configuring the openoffice build as well.
