is this gcc-3.x?  i know several pieces of software that compile fine
with gcc-2.9x, but not with -3.x.  the includes have changed, maybe
the test files have trouble with this.  you would find something in
config.log, where all this is neatly documented.

the newest files in a directory can be listed with ls(1), i always use
(a lot of times!):

  alias lt='ls -Falikbort'

for this (bash).  then the newest files come at the end of the
listing, telling you which files were created.

OT:  ever heard of "reactive keyboard"?  i'm looking for that, employs
markov chains...
