I've tried many combinations and ended up setting them all, with NUMBER
being as little as 2, but with no luck. :(

In the meantime, a new upstream version popped out; the latest build log is
here:
https://launchpad.net/~c.falco/+archive/ubuntu/alpha/+build/8920070/+files/buildlog_ubuntu-wily-i386.mame_0.170-0ubuntu1~ppa1~wily1_BUILDING.txt.gz

I enabled the verbose build which no longer hides the command lines.
This produces a *big* file i.e. several megabytes: should I keep it anyway
once the issue is solved? I thought it advisable to limit the building
