==========================================================================
The supported build options for this package are:
		[...]

   Goes on fine till the end of the configure and then:

		[...]
config.status: creating config.h
config.status: executing depfiles commands

Logitech mouse support is disabled. Provide libusb to enable it.


Good - your configure finished. Start make now

/usr/bin/nawk: input record `config_files=" Makef...' too long
 input record number 273, file config.status.overridden
 source line number 1
*** Error code 2

Stop.

Don't know if the /usr/bin/nawk blowout is because of some change in the 
infrastructure or whether 3.4.1 just pushes over some boundary that 3.4.0 
didn't but I can't see how to get this to work.
