Sorry, I was confused about what was in the release candidate and
Berndt's build troubles caused me to jump to the wrong conclusion.

Just to clarify a bit:

The alternative fine-grained build (besides being useful for ensuring
the build procedure is squeaky-clean) is aimed at packaging systems that
want to make a number of packages from one source tarball and do so with
multiple separate builds, rather than one build and then having N
separate lists of files.  For build GNU Radio from svn as a regular user
rather than package maintainer on *BSD, the existing build system works
fine.
