well... so far this auto-gen mechanism doesn't seem to fare any better...

(my question was more along the lines of "how often does that structure
of the source tree change nowadays, after the significant re-org?")

fwiw, I also tried a build under Windows, but got this:

[same steps as before, up until...]

$ make aldeps
perl -I./perllib -I. ./x86/insns.pl -b \
        ./x86/insns.dat x86/insnsb.c
Too many arguments for open at ./x86/insns.pl line 198, near "$oname)"

happens to be a perl5 (5.0 patchlevel 5 subversion 03)

as for next steps, can you give a build-after-fresh-git-fetch a try on your
end, to see if it works for you?
