Re: make distclean breaks "later "configure && makes"", i.e., removes a file in distro that a build needs (cannot process parse.y)
I'll start all over again - using the following structure: cd dist; wget distro..tar.gz cd ../src; gzip -dc ../dist/distro.tar.gz | tar xf - mkdir ../distro; cd ../distro ../src/distro/configure --arguments; make; make distclean ../src/distro/configure --arguments; make As I have not been build OOT, maybe this fixes it - I forget why I am not building OOT. Maybe because I was not being handy when having to update a source tree with a patch. IF above works - I'll say "my mistake", if not - might still be my mistake, but not one I can figure out.

Those don't compare as equal, and the files get removed. I could solve that problem with a short `same_dir' script, but maybe there's an easier way.

But isn't it the point of "make distclean" to delete everything *except* the files that come with the tarball distribution? - M.

The tarballs of bash source include an already-processed yacc file, but "make distclean" removes that, and you need bison (or yacc, but bison is preferred) to recreate it.
