 It's good to hear that somebody can reproduce the problem.

 It's a bit worse than "default enabled," as the build fails in the case =
 that wayland is not installed (which could happen if the wayland option =
 had always been disabled).

 I suspect this is because the bulk builds use the default options =
 settings, which results in other combinations of options not being =
 tested. I suspect it may be this way because testing all the =
 combinations of options (or even each option) would require more =
 computational power than is available.
