You can remove swig-core-utils-python.c from your build directory and 
rebuild. This is an autogenerated file, which is only regenerated if 
core-utils.i has changed.

Unfortunately core-utils.i includes a number of (c-)header files (*.h). 
If any of these files changes, this is not detected by our makefiles. 
One occasion where this happens is r23253. The function 
gnc_gconf_get_path_prefix is dropped from gnc_prefs.h in that commit. 
gnc_prefs.h is included in core-utils.i, but swig-core-utils-python.c is 
no regenerated automatically.
