5.0.0a1 is very alpha and not fit for use at all. There are no
guarantees it will build or do anything useful, as you have discovered.

You must use the 4.0.4.x series; that one works



reading between the lines in this list over the years, that branch is
something john was fooling around with once long ago. I'm not entirely
sure why it made it to a bundled tarball, it's at that point in it's
life cycle where it should still be in a code repo only.
