WHAT A TWAT!!!
My "test" for the build was:
gm2 -g -fiso hello.mod
which, of course, invokes the binary download of gm2.

When I invoke the built gm2 I get:
gm2cc: error trying to exec 'cc1plus': execvp: No such file or directory

I'll search around to see if there’s a simple cause in due course.

The good news is that I do have a built gm2, which is considerably 
better than when using 4.1.2

Apologies,
John
