Moses,

You can probably just remove the error.  Here at Cygnus, we always
build in parallel trees.  As I understand it, this is largely to
encourage people to keep their sources on the machines that get backed 
up, and their build trees on the build machines that don't get backed
up.  When you are working on GNUPro, you often have a build tree
configured for many different targets/hosts etc, and this takes up
HUGE amounts of disk space.  Backing it all up would be runious...
