If you change any files in base/configure you need to rebuild
everything.

From the 3.14.9 readme:
"Build EPICS base
After configuring the build you should be able to build EPICS base by
issuing the following commands in the distribution's root directory
(base)

gnumake clean uninstall

gnumake

The command "gnumake clean uninstall" will remove all files and
directories generated by a previous build. The command "gnumake" will
build and install everything for the configured host and targets.

It is recommended that you do a "gnumake clean uninstall" at the root
directory of an EPICS directory structure before each complete
rebuild to ensure that all components will be rebuilt."

I tried to follow the instructions in the document "Building EPICS
R3.13 extensions with R3.14 base", but the document appears to be
out of date. I set the symbol COMPAT_TOOLS_313=YES in base/
configure/CONFIG_SITE as instructed and then tried to do a make in
base/config/tools, but that failed as there is no Makefile there. I
looked back to the R3.14.5 release (I'm using R3.14.9) and found
that in that release, /config/tools does have a Makefile. I copied
it into my R3.14.9 release and then did a make, which worked, but
that did not help building the R3.13 extension. The problem is that
the struct 'oldChannelNotify' is not defined. Presumably, that's
what the compatibility mechanism is supposed to do, but it doesn't
seem to work.
