Yeah, I couldn't figure it out either, but the revert made it work for
me.  Could it be that I do incremental builds - so today, I would have
built commit b087ce990625 ("Merge remote-tracking branch 'input/next'")
which worked, then commit 9d67df654092 ("Merge remote-tracking branch
'block/for-next'") which failed.

The only suspect code in the block tree has been there since April 13
with no build failures.

Anyway, I can see how things go tomorrow, but I hate it when things
seem fragile like this.
