As mentioned, using the configuration files located in
simfactory/mdb/optionslists/ helped. And compiling with gmake worked.
The only thing it confuses me is that after
gmake binary-config thornlist='binary,th'
I always need to copy the binary,th in configs/binary/
and then
gmake binary
otherwise, the compiler uses all thorns in the arrangements directory, and
not only the listed in binary.th. It should not, right?
Best,
Jose
