I did a global build, so just "make"

Here what I did to avoid language pb:
export LANG=C
make clean
make

Here are the last lines:

It seems it's quite at random since the build runned a longer time.

I'll try "make -O" tomorrow.

remarks:
- building with Cygwin was taking a lot memory (I got 8GB) and, contrary to
Linux building, I saw a lot of "include file" in console. (perhaps both are
linked)
- also when using Ctrl-C on cygwin to stop the process then close cygwin, it
seems it doesn't stop process and so doesn't free memory ; ie I could see
several "make" process on tasks manager.
Hope LO may be built with Windows native tools instead of cygwin.
