  No problems here, except the nastiness of using Build and build at the 
same place -- there are file systems around which are a little braindead 
and regard capitalization as optional, i.e., on a Mac build and Build 
refer to the same file.  I just renamed Build to Build.sh and went ahead.

  The quotes around it shouldn't be there.  In any case, why is it 
trying to use that?  Did you pass that in explicitly or do you have any 
environment variable set for it?  (Try "set | grep gcc" in a terminal.)
