Thanks for your concern. Yes, I am aware of that. I simply would not 
expect a 'make garchive' have any problem as it does not install 
anything, merely fetching+checksumming the sources.
However, as I look at my logs, it seems the 'install' target is executed 
when doing a 'make garchive' hence the problem.

I am then going to read in extenso the GAR architecture page 
(http://www.lnx-bbc.org/garchitecture.html) as I still don't understand 
many things about it (or are they counter-intuitive ?;)

Vincent
