Interesting. I've seen other reports of this error, but didn't know why 
it happened. If this is because of building in the source dir, it should 
probably go into the FAQ. If it's not, then perhaps the list archives or 
bug database can be searched. . . 

Although, I suppose one should be able to build in the source dir. . .
