Sure, and I was not trying to do that, I was only running make
install. What happened to me could happen to anyone who runs into
some trouble during make install and tries to troubleshoot editing the
Makefile. I did not expect that editing the Makefile causes
recompilation of some objects, and the result is a compiler that seems
to work correctly, except it handles errors and warnings incorrectly.
When it happened to me, I thought gcc was broken, and I was searching
the mail list if anyone else had this problem, and I did not find
anything, so I figured I must be doing something wrong, and I have to
debug this myself.
