Looking at the python code in src-all/m3-sys/m3cc/src/m3makefile, I 
find line 586:

m3cc_Run (["cd " & build_dir & " && cd libcpp && " & M3CC_MAKE & " 
libcpp.a | tee -a " & Log])

Now seeng what appears to be the actual command line in the error 
message: 

cd . && cd libcpp && make  CFLAGS="-g -O2" MAKE=make  AUTOCONF=: AUTOMAKE=: LEX='touch lex.yy.c' MAKEINFO=: libcpp.a | tee -a

it appears that the variable bild_dir has the value "."

At some time, "." probably was the build directory.  But at the moment 
we execute this command, I suspect the build dir is actually 
/farhome/hendrik/cm3/src-all/m3-sys/m3cc/AMD64_LINUX/

since a recent message was 

make[1]: Leaving directory 
`/farhome/hendrik/cm3/src-all/m3-sys/m3cc/AMD64_LINUX/libdecnumber'

There is no libcpp directory there.  locate tells me there are libcpp 
directories at
src-all/m3-sys/m3cc/gcc-apple/libcpp

and

src-all/m3-sys/m3cc/gcc/libcpp

and that's about it.  (yes, I reran locatedb to make sure it was up to 
date).

Could it be that the build_dir variable should contain an absolute 
rather than a relative path?

Or should I rerun everything using scipt to generate a huge log?
