Aha. Missed that but isn't that evil. We need to build the packages on
a machine that has all features, but having both X and mswindows at
the same time isn't possible... but I guess I'm missing something
basic here.

I need to sleep on this. Maybe I get it tomorrow.

Yes. I know. The odd thing is that when I try to recreate by running
the same build, on the same machine, in a copy of the package tree,
using the same 21.4.22 binary, I don't get that error. It breaks on
the x-symbol thing as the 21.5 build.

OK. I'll try that.
