No, I don't. On line 797 of Programs/Makefile.in you'll find:

   all-api-bindings: | api

Could you please try removing the |, then reconfiguring, and then rebuilding? Alternative, you can look in Programs/Makefile for that same line and remove it there. This latter way won't require reconfiguring but the change will be lost if you do reconfigure.

>Its him, not her by the way.

I'm sorry. I guess it was the "elle" suffix that misled me. I do care about these things so thank you for the correction. Which language?
