I don't know what "now" is for you, but I've tried that a number of times in 
the past 24 hours and it still does not work.

I think it's Stephan who suggested a while back that when a build failed for no 
obvious reasons, just starting from scratch was the best way to fix the issue. 
So I just erased my emacs directory and did the git clone dance, but this time 
without success.

Last attempt was 10mn ago.
