For 32-bit, I believe the only issue is dependencies; for 64-bit there
is a change in the binaries as well.  I hadn't realised just changing
the setup.hint files was an option, but it sounds like just doing a
complete rebuild of everything is the sensible fix anyway.

Fair enough.  As I said, I'm not going to be able to spin that out
tonight, but I should be able to do it tomorrow.

Thinking about it, I suspect my build environment changed; I'd been
relying on the DEPEND setting in git.cygport to catch any problems
there, but that was clearly missing some things, so I expect it's
causing the rest of the problems too.

Agreed; I hadn't spotted it was anything useful to check until too late,
but I'll definitely be looking at it in future.
