The fact that it's broken since that release is not in contradiction with what 
I said. You can work around the problem introduced in that revision by first 
performing a native build, because bin2obj is only called if the css.inc file 
is out-of-date.

The problem is not that it's not installed. It's that you try to use the 
just-compiled version of that binary (by explicitly calling ../bin2obj), which 
may have been cross-compiled and hence non-functional on the current build 
system, rather than the globally installed one.
