I think you have a relatively old makefile (I'm assuming that you're using
whatever came with 3.1).  I've improved it a lot.  That version requires
you to clean before building another binary.  The reason is that everything
was built in the same directory, so it didn't realize that it needed to
run the translator.  The current makefile builds everything in subdirs,
so it's a little easier to use.  Not sure what other lib you're talking
about, but that makefile version wasn't set up for making the backend or
binder.
