I've reproduced the problem on a Linux machine.  At a guess, I think the
issue is related to the fact that the pre-generated C files in the
source distribution are now built with --smart-indexing enabled.  (It
was enabled for the ROTD builds several months ago; previously we didn't
use it for the ROTDs as it resulted in code that wasn't portable.)

I will need to investigate this further.

Cheers,
Julien.
