It's a bit tricky to understand what you're trying to do in the second 
compile.  For instance, you're applying --remove-short-arcs to pre-built 
IMG files, which doesn't make much sense.  You're also mixing 
pre-existing IMG files with OSM files, which I'd avoid if I were you. 
Better to create all the IMG files seperately, then compile them into 
your ultimate gmapsupp.img in one step at the end.
