Simply amazing... Quoting http://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html:
"First, we highly recommend that GCC be built into a separate directory than
the sources which does not reside within the source tree. This is how we
generally build GCC; building where srcdir == objdir should still work, but
doesn't get extensive testing; building where objdir is a subdirectory of
srcdir is unsupported."

It may have been the hidden trigger of a bunch of them...

It's actually IWIYFTI (It Works If You Follow The Instructions).
