It appears you either

	1) still had a "-pg" version of "wiretap/buffer.o"

or

	2) had a "wiretap/Makefile" that compiled with "-pg".

"make distclean" is *supposed* to remove both of those files.

That assumption is *supposed* to be true, but perhaps there's some
problem that caused it not to be true in this case.
