Thanks, I'll take a look at that.  May possibly be a result of the
switch to non-recursive make.  Odd that it's not picked up during
the debian package build, but we do the build in a separate
builddir so that might make a difference.

Sorry for the delay in replying--was in hospital for a few days
at the start of the month and then moved house and was stuck with
no internet for a few weeks.  Just catching up on the backlog of
stuff now.

Roger
