Aha. Indeed it does, thanks!
Of course, none of the documentation I've seen seems to suggest this; it's usually mentioned only in connection with the installation of patches. I did try "make clean," but I guess I needed things to be cleaner than that. Also kind of uncool is the fact that make mrproper deleted my config file, so I had to go through the make config (eqivalent) process again, but that's OK, things built fine and I can move on.
I also have to say that despite over 25 years of software development experience, it never occurred to me that leftover stuff from previous compiles could result in peculiar, nonsensical compiler errors like this. But then again, I haven't written much code in the last 5 years or so, so what do I know? :)
Thanks much for the suggestion!
