Thanks. :)

Found the problem with the NEWS file.  It's because libxslt wasn't installed.

Turns out the "NEWS" makefile target silently fails if it's missing.
i.e. even "make NEWS" doesn't report an error

Still haven't found out the problem with probes.h though.  Now looking at
that again.

Regards and best wishes,
