Hi Christian, Thanks to your detailed description I can now reproduce the problem when building master with "make" rather than "ninja".
Turns out there's a hidden circular dependency between engine.scm and engine- utilities.scm via the call to (gnc:module-begin-syntax (gnc:module-load "gnucash/engine" 0)) I have a fix ready for this particular case, but there are more of these so I'm still working through the others.
