You need to rerun automake.
But the actual bug is that the Makefile remove menu.info, which causes it to be
regenerated with a different timestamp, which was not intended.
Also if you know how to fix the C++ warning, tell me.
hints.h: In constructor 'hints::hints()':
hints.h:72:9: warning: member 'hints::hint_nentry' is used uninitialized
[-Wuninitialized]
