It can be regarded as funny though, if you are in the right mood! :-)
And you, sir, are on the right track! Congratulations on your powers of keen observation. You'll teach 'em yet, I'm not the horrible, ranting ogre I once was... now that the "Luposian bug" is fixed! :-)
Luposian, maybe a command line has gotten long enough to trigger a problem with jam. Are you sure you have installed the latest version of jam that you can download from haiku-files.org? From time to time, we had to enlarge the maximum length of command lines for jam. Maybe you are using an older 
version?
Sure wish there was a place on Haiku's site where changes like that were easily identified. I'll have to download JAM and see. To your knowledge, has JAM been changed somewhere around Haiku r25091 or earlier?
Also, the instructions that Oliver put together are quite easy to follow, 
since he described them so well.
They are tedious, that's all. It really doesn't take but about 15 minutes or less, to actually do it, but compared to everything else, which each take a couple seconds at most... it takes *FOREVER* :-) 


 It's not like it is a cryptic list of
steps to follow where you can easily make mistakes at any item. It just a couple of steps, but not much chance for failure. So I do recommend that 
you install the GCC as recommended.
No, please... don't tell me that! *ANYTHING* but that! Tell me I have to install Windows Vista Ultimate Edition (64-bit) on a 286 with 640K of RAM... or solve the US national debt by collecting pennies on the ground (or under/behind couch cushions)... or climb Mt. Rushmore, with dental floss as my climbing rope... but NOT to install GCC 2.95.3 for BeOS again... 

N O O O O O O O O O ! ! ! !  :-D


 Because another problem may be, that a
build system tool got touched/changed, and therefor it wants to compile
that using the host system compiler.
That just FIGURES! E'ryones gotta go mess up my happy little Haiku JAMing life and mess with the build tools again! *sigh* :-D
*NOTE* Anyone who did NOT get the INTENDED humor of this reply... read it *74 billion times* until you DO... Or run Vista on a 286 for the rest of your natural life... whichever you prefer. :-D 

Latre!

Luposian
