The latest, Sept 1, stable snapshot won’t build for me. I type ‘./  
configure’ and everything looks OK. I type ‘make’ and it says  
something about MINIRUBY and it starts running configure again. Here  
are a few lines around ‘make’

checking whether ELF binaries are produced… no  
checking whether OS depend dynamic link works… yes  
checking for nroff… /usr/bin/nroff  
config.h unchanged  
configure: creating ./config.status

Can you check the timestamps of files? Are there any files from the  
future?
