I assume it's just that someone needs to update the new build for the 
recent changes. We had a similar issue when the CDLR changes were pushed 
to jdk8/tl last week. In that case Naoto did a local fix to that for 
those that are trying out the new build could continue. I think we're at 
the point where build changes are going to have to be done to both build 
systems as otherwise it will break somebody. Hopefully it won't be too 
long before we actually transition to the new build.
