Arne is actually describing a problem that I've been having ever since this "old/new" module thing was created.
1) on the systems I've been using, precompile.sh isn't installed with executable permission. 2) precompile.pike inherits a relative path to the precompile.pike script in Tools.Standalone that is valid in the source tree but not when installed. Thus, an error is generated with any cmod.

tinstall creates a installation for the purpose of running the testsuite (and benchmark). Doing anything else with it isn't really supported.
Either use your uninstalled pike to build the module, or install it with "make install".
