...and leaving it in means that you have to dig through the make output 
to see all the build errors, rather than seeing it at the end of the 
make output, which is why I suggested removing it - I wanted to see the 
very first problem in the build (and not problems caused by problems in 
earlier stages of the build).

Perhaps, but it worked when I tried checking a new tree out (the very 
first line in the output of my make was

	/usr/bin/perl ./process-x11-fields.pl <./x11-fields

), so perhaps this is some RH9-ism, or a difference between different 
versions of auto* stuff.
