Yes

It's possible, this is why I did not discuss this point. There is a
problem when a file in src/algebra/ is modified (see another mail), the
object file is not copied in mnt/$SYS/algebra.

I encountered this issue.

It's possible too, I don't know, I only test the build process of this
branch every 10-30 days. I wanted to say "it could be the same bug" and
not "I think it is", sorry. I don't know exactly what you mean with
"checked patch", if it is the patch on the IssueTracker, it's not the
way to go, even Bill was not happy with this patch (I will not discuss
here this patch but 'directory' and 'truename' are from my point of view
completely buggy in gcl 2.6).
