Hmm. It's worse than that, since now it's impossible to build a source

That much is true.
And I think that cross-compiling from Git is impossible now?
Since you can't build the manual unless you first build and run the binary.
Yes and no. One must first build a native binary, at least for the
terminal version of PSPP, because that is used to generate the
example outputs. Once you've done that, then you can do a cross build.
However, it's going to get worse :/ because I have plans to auto generate
screenshots for the manual. These will depend upon a nativly built
and installed PSPPIRE. So when that happens, then yes, almost everything
will have to be built, before the manual can be built.
I think I need to discard the idea of having separate "source" and "binary"
nightly builds.
In my opinion, it would still be useful to have a regular build-bot
to check that cross-builds can be performed from the tarball, even if
that tarball can only be generated after building a native binary.
