I did "make WITHOUT_GNOME=yes DEBUG_FLAGS=yes" and then a "make install" with the same defines. But this does seem to be a nice lead; I'll check further; I wonder if maybe something changed in the (Mk?)-system that might be causing this. Afaik xchat is rather non-troublesome. For example, how do I "know" that the GNOME support knob is truly "off?"
