That does sound like a timestamp issue then. I suppose you could "touch -r devices.in devices.cc" after a checkout. Gcc uses a script contrib/update_gcc to deal with these inadequecies of version control. > This seems > wrong by the way - a separated build shouldn't alter anything in src. Well, it's a generated file, just like configure. There are of course many schools of thought on how to deal with generated files in CVS, but most people seem to agree that keeping them in the repository is generally OK since end users can build from CVS without needing the correct version of the autotools installed, for instance.
