A couple of weeks ago, the synctex tool wasn't included in the build  
yet (added on May 27, to be exact), so that could explain the  
difference -- but I don't know what all this actually means.

Would it be worth trying to use GNU ld rather than /usr/ccs/bin/ld?  
(Hmmm, does that require reconfiguring the compiler?)

The "standard" Build script would create a Work subdir within Build/ 
source, cd into Work, then run ../configure <options>, rather than  
building directly in the source tree. You might try that to see if it  
changes anything, as that's the main way the configure & make stuff  
has been exercised.

Looking further ahead, I think for a "real" build you should have  
fontconfig installed in whatever the "most standard" location is on  
HPs running a GUI environment; if you end up with binaries that  
expect to find it in /u/tiarno/fc, they're not going to work for  
other people.
