Sorry to say, Tim, but it is a but in the Makefiles. SVN just happens to 
make some files inside .svn read-only (because only svn should change them).

Right and it is

svn log -v 
https://axiom.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/axiom/branches/build-improvements 
-r74:75

svn diff 
https://axiom.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/axiom/branches/build-improvements 
-r74:75

that gives you the patch. Just redirect the output of "svn diff" to a file.

Oh, I think "end users" take precompiled things that come with 
debian/red hat etc. Most others compile from a checkout of one of the 
archives. Am I wrong?
