Ok. I’m able to build again.

   HG ID for this build is "67a5341edf15"

I had been building in the source tree for several years. Mainly because I was 
unable to successfully build otherwise. Then a couple of months ago, I tried to 
build in a parallel directory and was successful. It occurred to me that I 
should try building in the source tree again, and I found success.

If anyone has a clue why, please illuminate me.
