Re: issues building gnutls from git on Ubuntu 12.04

[Patrick Pelletier]

Thanks!  I did a "git clean -dfx" and that solved both of my previous  
problems.

I'd been so focused on the output of "git status" that I'd forgotten  
to consider that my checkout could be "dirty" in files that were being  
gitignored.  (I'd previously tried building gnutls in that same  
directory before I upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04, so that must be where the  
dirty files came from.  I just hadn't thought about that.)

Sorry for not figuring out such a basic issue on my own!

I'm now getting all the way through the "make bootstrap", and most of  
the way through "make", but it fails on the "compare-makefile" rule.   
Does that mean I'm still doing something wrong, or is this to be  
expected since I just grabbed the head of git, rather than using an  
official release?  (I'm not entirely clear what this step is doing,  
but perhaps these "FUNCS" lines are only updated before a release, and  
that's why they mismatch for me?)
