From client.mk (starting line 490):

Code: Select all

# Windows equivalents
pull_all: checkout
build_all: build

So they are equivalent.

Looks like an overloading problem or a missing function signature. I'd try pulling again. It may be that you got one piece of a checkin.

I have tried pulling 3 times already. I think it's another problem with building with GCC.
