Sorry! I did'nt realise that. It must I hope be documented somewhere
(apart from [not in] INSTALL.txt)?

If it did any difference to my system I would be glad, but that is
apparently /*not*/ the case!

stepmake:

I usually run updates from a 'build' directory, but that does not seem
to make any difference.

I must now suspect that the problem perhaps arises from some for me
hidden alteration to the debian version of gcc etc.? My 'testing'
installation is updated very often.

Not to forget: thanks for the prompt response.
