Try building from git head of the 5.1 branch instead of the master 
branch.  When we released 5.1, a lot of  new code was pushed into master 
branch, and I don't think it is recommended yet for anything except 
testing that new code.

While I would expect libalkimia 5.0.0 to work for KMM 4.8.5, I have not 
tried it myself, so I don't know for sure.
