Are you able to check if r3674 was the problem change?

It should not normally matter where the TYP
file goes, as far as I know, but if it does matter then
we should fix mkgmap to put it in the right place.

In your case you are combining two map sets with different family-id
values into one gmapsupp.  This means that there can be two TYP files
and there are two index files generated.  The TYP file for the first
family needs to go before the second family-id and if you want a
different TYP file for the second family map set then you would put it
after the second --family-id=10031.  The first one will be reused if
there is not a second file (I think!).

But it is possible or likely that r3674 broke that, so I am
treating it as a bug in mkgmap, you should not have to change
your command line.  The one you have been using for years should
work fine.

Best wishes
