Oops, I didn't see the "make and" there.

(*scratches head*)

I'd have to dig deep and embark on an extensive investigation to make a
reliable statement about this.

If you're talking about dropping the new executable into a v3.7
installation, then I would recommend against it. IIRC the Unix/Linux
incarnation wasn't designed to live piggyback on a v3.7 installation;
that's only done on Windows, because full-fledged installation is
difficult there.

If you're talking about replacing an existing v3.8-alpha binary with the
new one, that shouldn't be a problem.

Sky's the limit now. Whatever fits into your memory.
