Ok, that at least makes some sense. The other blamed commit did not
seem to possibly make a difference.

Does a "make clean" get rid of it forever? Or does it come back?

If it's a one-time dependency issue that is because some header
dependency addition that the automatic dependency generator hadn't
caught, that might explain a bisection failure too: once the file
happens to get rebuilt (and the dependencies re-done), it starts
working even though the "happens to be rebuilt" had nothing to do with
the original bug.
