Yes, we reported it here a couple of weeks ago, it stops the kdebase build, 
and has done for weeks, but I have no idea how to fix it.

The "md5sum" program isn't available on (at least) FreeBSD and Debian, so 
there's no way that bit of magic from the Makefile.am is ever going to build 
here, but I can't even figure out what that is trying to do or why it's in 
the Makefile.am either.

I just disabled fish from building locally (pity, I like fish.)
