I can't (yet?) put my finger on it, but from time to time I
have the impression that some build debris sneaks into the
check-out. I've had problems in compiling which disappear
magically after a make distcheck (I've first to do a configure
to be able to do that, since the makefile isn't there yet:
I call that the "double phoenix manœuvre" or something ;-)

FWIW I build in a separate directory, which is always empty
at the start.
