Yes.  The BUILD_BOMB is enabled by default.  Our 7.1 binary builds had 
the build bomb disabled.  In order to build with this disabled, use 
something like this:
make PUMPKIN_AGE=0 BUILD_BOMB="" .... other args ....
I apologize for this.  We will be updating the wiki Building page ASAP.  
Future versions of the source code will disable the build bomb by default.
