Apparently, building right now (I was not sure whether I should run configure in case the old makefile could still have told us something). Remains one issue I'm not entirely sure about. According to an advice by Juanma I usually run (and also did run now) bzr clean-tree --unknown --ignored --detritus --force in the source directory which should remove the makefiles (IIUC). Maybe I forgot to do that the past times, the makefiles persisted, and were not overwritten (but touched somehow). Unlikely, I know ... martin
