See if you can still reproduce this error by running 'make' while the current working directory is your Synchronet "exec" directory.

That's because of the makefile you used to start the build. If you use install/GNUmakefile, it'll auto-build the exec/*.bin files. If you use src/sbbs3/GNUmakefile, it will not.

Yup. This issue is the same as the first bullet item you listed.
