If you read the makefile, you will see that it always uses the
committed sources. The generation
of the offset file is a verification step, run on platforms where it
is possible, the generated
offset file is not used per se.

Obviously, there was a problem, that triggered the changed. In this case
it was because of the latest MacOSX update that moved all the X11 libraries,
so that you had to explicitly supply the path to them........
