OK, thanks for checking with the latest. > Incidentally, the build did work until recently - the last version I > have with a successful build is 1.2.23-1, and I think it started > failing with the 1.4.* series.

One thought - is /etc/gai.conf present in the chroot with any uncommented content? Cheers, Olly
