Nope.

Then I just get

	make[1]: Entering directory `/home/torvalds/git/perl'
	Running Mkbootstrap for Git ()
	chmod 644 Git.bs
	rm -f blib/arch/auto/Git/Git.so
	gcc  -shared -L/usr/local/lib Git.o  -o blib/arch/auto/Git/Git.so       \
	        \
	  
	gcc: Git.o: No such file or directory
	gcc: no input files

instead.

If that file isn't even supposed to _exist_, then why do we have build 
rules etc crap to do all this? It sounds like the makefiles are broken.
