Aha! You're right! Something has changed. I was describing how things used 
to be, not how they are now. Shows how long it's been since I was paying 
attention. Since I never even bothered to look at the Makefile in a long 
time I never noticed the WITHOUT_LINUX=yes, which is new and since the 
default is to build the Linux support it just passed by me.

 
But I stand corrected. Hadn't noticed how it had changed. Thanks for waking 
me up :-)
