The reason I got from community guys is:
Because the build machine is too ancient to build trunk with cairo, and
updating of the machine is blocked by hardware issues and the busy time
of releasing the app updates last week.

Hopefully we will get updated nightly builds soon.
Please try it again when new builds is available. Some related bugs have
been fixed these days.

Thanks,
Evan
