True the program "gtk-update-icon-cache" seem to have a bug in it.  It does not
honor the option "--force".

Whether or no another bug exists in not honoring --ingore-theme-index  is 
another question.

But, I want to know why the build process get suckered into/ or bugged into 
building an invalid "cache" according to "gtk-update-icon-cache".  Clearly 
something is wrong.
There a bug and I want to track it down.  I should hope that the deveopers 
would as well.

The developers, should not the bugs (if not illuciate why not).  Good code, 
does not flunk like this.  It should at the very, very least. give some hints 
as to why it considers a "cache" to be invalid.  Then one can dig in a bit 
deeper to try to cure the
 illness, which in this case is a "make" crash.

  d.j.
