Thanks for spotting that out. Our current patch (we actually had a working version, but we are now cleaning it up and preparing the patch) has a build/version.o linked into gengtype. I believe we should be able to send a two-piece patch. And by the way, outside of the persistency mechanism (which is quite a large file, gengtype-state.c, trivially made of read_state_* & matching write_state_* routines) there are no algorithmic changes in our patch. I believe that the generated files are the same as before. The patch might be not trivially small, but the changes are routine. As an example, adding an input_file structure requires changing many functions formals refering to some input file from const char* to input_file*. This is not a big deal, but it makes the patch a bit big. BTW, this is not the first time that either Jeremie or me are hut by a strange [probably makefile or autoconf related, certainly unrelated to our gengtype work] bug; in some occasions, we have to make a distclean to make GCC work. This happenned to me several times in the past. And Jeremie will soon [in a week or two] become a full time student again, so he won't have much time to spend on GCC. In my perception, he is very clever, and should concentrate his efforts on studying, not on GCC hacking.
