Thanks for pointing this out; I should have posted something to the list
myself.

In general, it's always a good idea to do a 'make clean' before doing an
SVN update.  Most of the time, you can get away without it; however, as
you pointed out, this was not one of them.  In fact, you should do a
'make uninstall' as well, to delete the installed files that might not
exist after the update.

Also, by using the 'ccache' application, the extra compile time to
rebuild the cleaned directories is dramatically reduced.
