Interesting.
I'm assuming this comes from line 248 and 249 of GNUmakefile.in, but what's odd 
is that it creates a file with an asterisk.  It is literally a copy and paste 
of everything around it.  Of course, this is not necessarily a recipe for 
success, but I don't see why it'd be that far off the mark.

Does your mf/out/font-cache.scm have a bunch of definitions in it (for 
something like box-hash)?  If it does, that means that the file is building 
correctly, which is half the battle.

As for nuking everything and starting over, that may work (i.e. removing the 
entire out directory) - I'm not sure, but if it doesn't tie up your computer 
and prevent you from doing other things, it's worth a shot!  Thanks for your 
patience - what's difficult is that it works well on my machine (even after 
`make clean', so it's tough for me to troubleshoot it.
