The best I can say right now is that the last compile that worked was
before the font-backend branch merged, and the first that didn't work
was after that merge.

Gnus takes about an hour to startup, and emacs almost as long to
compile, so I'll have to setup a separate user account to do the
bisecting.  It'll take some time.
