Thanks .mgr for guidence here. Looks like I didn't correctly get latest updates on src. To test: I renamed current failed src and obj, to src.old and obj.old. I rsync'd latest (11-Sep) and did a tools, kernel, and release build; it succeeded and all good as you said. I took latest src with copy of obj.old and did a release build: It succeeded. I then took saved copy of src.old and tried to build release against obj.new: It failed.
