Thanks -- this error was fixed by Philip Kaludercic within an hour or so
of my buggy commit. Everything seems to be building fine now.

However your report led me to actually look at my buggy commit, and it's
even buggier than I thought -- must have fat-fingered Magit or fallen
asleep on my keyboard or something, there's untested code in there
that I'll back out now. Thanks for the prompt.

If you can confirm that this failure is gone with a new pull of Emacs,
would you please close this report?
