Yeah, I have.

I was going to look into why, but then I forgot.

I worked around it by going into libraries/base and running ./configure
--target=whatever manually.
Then, when I built it worked for some reason.

Then, when building from the top again, it didn't rebuild base.

If you wanted to figure out why, you have my blessing.
I'm assuming something gets passed down that shouldn't, or something.
