Problems building libgmp3

[Dale Scheetz <dwarf@polaris.net>]

Last week I build libgmp3 and uploaded the results, no problems.

This week, I make two minor changes, one to the control file priority
field and the other to the rules file modifying the shlibs file created
there.

Now, when I try to compile it, I get an unspecified error, apparently
randomly generated, about some file being compiled.

So I went back to last weeks version of the code, unpacked a fresh source,
and ... couldn't build that one for the same problem.

Here is a typical set of output/error messages from the last run:

/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I..
-DOPERATION_fits_ushort_p    -O3 -c -o fits_ushort_p.lo fits_ushort_p.c
rm -f .libs/fits_ushort_p.lo
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I.. -DOPERATION_fits_ushort_p -O3 -c
fits_ushort_p.c  -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/fits_ushort_p.lo
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I.. -DOPERATION_fits_ushort_p -O3 -c
fits_ushort_p.c -o fits_ushort_p.o >/dev/null 2>&1
mv -f .libs/fits_ushort_p.lo fits_ushort_p.lo
/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I..

-o .libs/gcd.lo
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I.. -DOPERATION_gcd -O3 -c gcd.c -o
gcd.o >/dev/null 2>&1

I'm pretty certain that nothing has changed on my system, but obviously
that can't be true. The source built just fine last week, and now it
doesn't...

Any suggestions/ideas? How do I figure out what the "real" error is?

Waiting is,
