I went through the bisect, starting from a commit of 17th Dec, and kept
seeing "good", till git told me that the bad commit was:
root at ntpmon:~/ntpsec# git bisect good
56630d4119ffeddd356a937c449026161c3f384b is the first bad commit
commit 56630d4119ffeddd356a937c449026161c3f384b

Luckily, just before I did a victory dance, I checked out HEAD again; and
did a waf configure; waf install . And I can no longer see the problem;
all is well.

I assure you (for whatever little it is worth), that *nothing* changed.
Well, I am not sure I did a waf configure before the install earlier this
evening, if I can blame that.
Apologies for the noise, and thanks for the chance to learn something new.
