One possibility is that it's the GObject-introspection typelib
generation breaking the build. If you have an old version of Tracker
installed in the prefix you are installing into this can happen. You
can use the (dangerous)! scripts/clean-tracker-prefix to delete the
installed Tracker, then try 'make' again from the beginning.

Looking at the log, this might well be a totally different issue, but
I thought I'd suggest this just in case!

If that doesn't fix it, I can try a build tomorrow and see if I can
reproduce the problem
