Full build log not necessary. You've already provided your configure
line; the next thing to provide would be the final GCC command line from
the 'make' command, and the full text output from that command including
all errors. If that isn't enough, the next thing we would probably need
would be the configure.log.

However, before posting any of that: have you tried running 'make
distclean' and reconfiguring before rebuilding? Every so often that is
necessary in order to successfully recompile. (I consider this
indicative of a less-than-ideal build system setup, but constructing a
perfect one is of course exceedingly difficult.)
