I installed world after the successful build, so now it probably is
too late to get a more useful problem report:(

By the way, I tried to add some debugging info with the help of make -d A
or -d g2 but the amount of logging was excessive(the build was ran in a tmux
terminal and the tmux process was using more CPU time than the build itself,
so I canceled). What should I use with "make -d" in order to get some basic
debugging? Or is there another way?

Thanks in advance, Nikos
