Thanks for the report.  I'll try it out myself as well to see if I can 
replicate the problem.  It would be worth bringing it up with the 
3dldf maintainer as well.

As Carl mentioned, the problem comes from ctangle from TeX.  3dldf is 
written in a "literate" way such that both the code and the 
documentation are in the same source files and ctangle/cweb are used 
to generate the compile-able code and documentation, respectively.

That's a problem. I'll look into it; I might have to re-upload it.  
I'm also very behind on putting out a new snapshot (real life plus 
other GNU duties have kept me very busy lately).  I'll try to do both 
this weekend.

I think, based on your more recent messages, that you've got this now, 
but just to clarify: there's no need to do a "top-level" make in GSRC. 
Just run make in the sub-directory of your desired directory (or 
make -C gnu/gcc, for example).
