 Thanks for the quick response, David. After talking with some people in the
 irc channel, they strongly suggested that the error was due to running
 build.sh in privileged mode. They also suggested I start over and rebuild
 with the '-U' flag, so I followed their advice. The build just finished
 successfully. Unfortunately I removed the original directory that I build
 as root, so I don't have the sanitized METALOG file. I wish I had kept it,
 in case others have come across this issue. I guess the workaround is just
 to run build.sh unprivileged.
 
 Thanks,
 
 Nick
