I see... so suddenly from this year, building from a directory 1 level deeper
than the source distribution is "unsupported" even though this has been working
for years. However I was able to successfully build the full compiler suite
(except for Fortran). You didn't read the log I attached in which the error has
nothing to do with the level of directory I ran the config script from.
