Hi Peter,
Yeah it's funny I got this immediately after upgrading to Big Sur (beta
5). I found commit 1c0cf52b39ca3 but couldn't quite find the mailing
list thread on it from 4 years ago (it lists Heikki and Thomas Munro as
reviewers). Was it prompted by a similar error you encountered?

Yeah here's an excerpt from config.log verbatim (I'm not wrapping the
lines):
