It's unlikely to fix the problem.  If it makes it worse, please report
that!

Something I forgot to say in the log message is that the new way is

        make cleandir
        make obj in tools directory
        make and install tools
        make obj in entire tree
        the rest

while the old way was

        make cleandir
        make obj in entire tree
        make and install tools
        the rest

(and almost all steps are optional, depending on assorted variables).
