I am using gcc 3.3.6.  It may also be that I am passing 
--enable-compile-warnings to configure.  I see that -Wall is part of the 
options being passed to gcc.  I expect that the 
--enable-compile-warnings caused the -Wall.  I would recommend its use 
for development.

When I checked my build script, I found I was passing 
--enable-error-on-warning to configure.  I changed it and tried again.  
Now, I have the following error:

make[4]: *** No rule to make target `gnucash-gdb.in', needed by 
`gnucash-gdb'.  Stop.
make[4]: Leaving directory 
`/mnt/raid/download/computer/software/www.gnucash.org/new/svn/branches/gda-dev/src/bin'
make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

make[1]: Leaving directory 
`/mnt/raid/download/computer/software/www.gnucash.org/new/svn/branches/gda-dev'
make: *** [all] Error 2
make failed

I'm not sure how to get past this one.  Is there a file missing?
