Good. Do you happen to know which environment variables were the problem
in this case? It would be great to have a mechanism that avoided this
source of confusion but cleaning up such environment variables. AFAIK
most of them are supposed to be unset in the script written by the
bootstrap step.

Wow, that tops the complexity of the AOO build experience quite a bit.
For an open-source project I'm afraid we're still way too challenging,
especially since the project was disrupted in the transition from the
classic OOo build system to a gnumake based system.
