That was on Mac OS X (10.4.11). I tried it on Linux (Ubuntu Gutsy)  
and it build OK... weird. On looking into the Makefile, I think it  
should have an additional -I$(srcdir)/.. in the rule that compiles mf- 
pool.c. I've added this in TL and it now builds on OS X as well.

(I'm still not really sure why the difference. To me, it looks like  
all platforms ought to need the extra include path, but I don't  
really understand all the rules.)
