same here.
I tried to bisect the problem, but it turns out to be really nasty​: svn
up'ping a revision $r, then rebuilding (after make realclean, of course)
didn't exhibit the problem. When I changed to another revision and then
got back to $r, and rebuilt, I saw the problem again.

So I suspect there are some leftovers in the tree that 'make realclean'
don't clean.

I suspect that the problem didn't exist on 2008-07-29, but I can't
really know of sure.

I'm not sure when/how this got fixed, but it appears to be working as of
r29933, so resolving ticket. (The bug is/was a parrot bug anyway.)
