Yes I thought it was going to be rather too specific for a bug report!
It appears that liblz4 was no longer there - my guess is that when I
agreed on the upgrade to remove no longer required stuff this lib was
one of them. `apt-get install liblz4-dev` fixed that side of things

Then got

make[2]: *** No rule to make target 'mygpo-qt-NOTFOUND', needed by 'lib/kcm_amarok_service_gpodder.so'. Stop.

I went through any files in the build area which had that string in
them and replaced it with /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmygpo-qt.so -
which does exist - the files which had NOTFOUND appeared to be dated
yesterday - well after the upgrade so I'm not sure why.

With that change the make ran through to completion!
