I ran the bootstrap, configure and make one at the time successfully.
Just wanted to report that after the make step I get one file generated
that becomes reported as untracked by git:

$ git status
# On branch study
# Untracked files:
#   (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
#
#   lib/stddef.h
nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to
track)

Is that supposed to happen?
