End of crisis (for me, at least). After croaking the line you recommended 
all I had to do was 

        tr -d '\r'

out a billion carriage returns. Technically these are ASCII blanks and no 
tool should complain, but gcc can't bear the sight of them after a line 
continuation marker: \

Long term someone should add an INSTALL file, but I'm past it now, 
thanks.
