Re: buildfarm instance bichir stuck

Thanks Andrew.

The build's still running but the CPPFLAGS hint does seem to have helped
(see below).

Unless advised otherwise, I intend to let that option be, so as to get
bichir back online. If a future commit 'fixes' things, I could rollback
this flag to test things out (or try out other options if required).

This did help in getting past the previous hurdle.
