Trying this but having some issues (explained below). Any help will be
appreciated.

I tried "hg bisect --extend" as hg suggested. The revision 16065 is
the next version to be checked. But I am not able to compile it, error
is "cannot find oct-parse.h". Don't know how to skip this revision.
"hg bisect --extend --skip" does not work. It will be great if someone
can help me in skipping this revision.

Thanks and Regards,
