I'm guessing you ran make here ? If so, then my second guess would be 
that on the initial run, a lot more was done when you typed make than 
just generating the *.o files (and dependent binaries). make is flexible 
and can be configured to do almost anything.

what happens if you run 'make clean' then make (make clean is a 
semi-standard way of cleaning a package out).

If that doesn't help try build the package again from a clean area 
(unpack the tar file again or whatever) and take a note of the message 
that fly by.
