Can't reproduce on x86 and my AMD64 has been down for months due to a bad power supply... Hopefully I'll be able to get that box online again soon and tackle this problem. Just wanted to let you know that despite the inactivity, it hasn't been forgotten :)
I just tried building 0.83 again and this time it worked. This was probably due to the late lamented confcache, which I no longer have installed. I'll leave it up to you as to how you want to close this.
Okay, no dev action on this, so I'm going to close it INVALID since this seems to have been a confcache issue.
