Also, FWIW, all I did before this rebuild was to do “make clean” in the source directory.  No other changes between builds.

 • If you have a backup of the previous state of the pari source directory;
 • AND if you tee⸣ed the output of Configure to a file when you built it the last time;

then you can tee it to a file again, and run a diff.  (This is how I
do it the last 30 years…  I found no better ways meanwhile!)

If you did not — you have been advised how to proceed the next 120
years…

Hope this helps,
