Re: Unable to make -q

Thanks. My initial testing suggests it may be on rebuild. It'll often work the first time, and then fail the next time I try.

Hi Rob!  Thanks for the report.  I can reproduce the problem, but I have
no idea why it happens.  If you are someone else has some ideas or can
debug this further, that would be great.

Meanwhile, I have asked on the gnulib list because it seems the problem
is more widespread than just within libidn and I suspect gnulib is
involved.  See post at:
