You are trying to build with 3.0.1.. Stop.
The exact same revision can indeed build itself (after all that's what happens during "make all" anyway), but the makefile can't differentiate the revision. For it 3.0.1 of revision A is the same as 3.0.1 of revision B. Thus we only check for the version and there for the previous release. This specific case would thus be a valid reason to use the OVERRIDEVERSIONCHECK=1 parameter that you'll need to pass to make then. Regards, Sven
