OK. After updating, I went directly to 'jhbuild build --no-network
NetworkManager'.

NetworkManager succeeded this go around. Using 'jhbuild bootstrap
--ignore-system' the parameter is the only major difference that I
recall.

Though it may be noteworthy that this is also the first time using
'jhbuild clean' rather than deleting and using 'jhbuild update';
'jhbuild build --no-network' as two steps.

Next, I try the full build.
