The purpose of -a (ask) is so you can see the stuff before taking action, and |
| 10 |
if it needs rebuilding then do it. Nothing is rebuilt just because it shows up |

not too bright. |

If you ever built from source before, I'm sure you didn't blindly build the |
| 15 |
software without reading ./configure --help and checking your options. |
