I have been running build tests all day (have probably done around 500 builds)
and I'm not seeing the build problem now. I don't know why not or what changed.

I have not applied the patch below. I'm just trying to reproduce the problem
and cannot do so. (Bad me: I had 3 build failures earlier but I didn't save the
failing .config files! I didn't think that it would be so difficult to reproduce.)

Thanks for your help.
