Why do you "./configure" when doing that? Especially if not "boot"ing.

If you don't reconfigure (and thus don't change the hi version number)
then I don't think this change will make things less likely to build,
but perhaps I am wrong.

Anyway, if you disagree then I'm happy to have it off by default.


Thanks
