No one seems to have run into this one, but it's been broken for (me at least)
for the past couple of weeks. Ifdef'ing out the conflicting code gets it to
build; I'm not sure which change caused it:

Silly question, maybe, but is this from a fresh checkout?

no - I did cvs updates from September (every couple of weeks).
The previous working build I have is from December 22.

Did you `make World`?

yes, that's what I always do.

What sort of change would break an update?

Oh, there are plenty of possibilities, especially if you build in the checked out tree, a practice I don't recommend.

my practice has been to do a build on a clean up-to-date tree to see what
problems there are.  Offhand, about 10% of the builds fail due to some
issue; most are commented on and resolved within a couple of days.

This particular one's cause isn't apparent - seemed to be some mismatch
between 32-bit and 64-bit ifdef's, but checking for the related files didn't show me the real cause.

It would seem that you are building with SharedLibFont explicitly set to NO, which is the default on a Debian system (see linux.cf). The attached, which I've just committed, should fix this problem.

Thanks.

Marc.
