Ages ago when > we regenerating configure in the fink gcc42 packages, we had to use... Yeah, you're right that in general, more regeneration is needed. I typically let --enable-maintainer-mode do that job, but a recheck triggered by 'make' reuses the cache files from the first configure. (That only regenerates the directories used during that build, of course.) With --enable-maintainer-mode, GCC trunk should have all rebuild rules and dependencies in place. Cheers, Ralf
