Rebuild precompiled headers to remove error messages

Would this also be advisable, if I definitely knew what's on my computer and what not?
Or is this just a question of teaching myself to be cautious and always on the safe side as root (which is a good thing(tm))?

It is just generally advisable to use full paths as root - especially when you are posting to a hints database for inexperienced unix admins (which all Mac users are now to a certain extent).

You don't want to execute a different command to the one you think you are running as root.
