I've bisected the following build error to your commit 97b7e58c4d "Try
and fix the more obvious sources of bug#30635" of 2018-03-22:

The immediately preceding incantation on my part is:

    make clean && ./configure [...] && make

where the configuration used follows my signature.

Subsequently invoking 'make boostrap' similarly barfs with:

Any ideas on where I am or what is going wrong and how I can further
troubleshoot this?
