You are trying to build with 2.7.1. If you are absolutely sure
that the
current
compiler is built from the exact same version/revision, you can
try to
use
OVERRIDEVERSIONCHECK=1 to override . Stop.

I really don't like making this comment, but looking at the bug report
(and checking the current Makefile)
> You try to build with 2.6.1.
That could very easily be misread as "You should try to build with
2.6.1", correct idiomatic English would be "You are trying to build with
2.6.1.", or to rub their nose in it "You are trying to build with 2.6.1,
which is not supported.".
The whole purpose of the check was to "rub their nose in it"... but if
people try to circumvent the check by editing the Makefile (and not even
reading the message correctly to know how to circumvent it correctly)
and THEN even raising a bug report about this then what can help?!
