  You make no mention of why you are trying to build it but you couldn't 
have picked a worse build to try. When it became necessary to come out 
with 2.0.5 and 2.0.6, the svn tree was miles ahead of where 2.0.4 left 
off namely it was pre2.1.0 with urlfilter actually being well underway 
amongst thousands of other changes that would not have worked for a 
2.0.x progression since we only needed tzdata and 2.1.x was not ready 
nor close enough to be pushed out the door in haste.

In order to build the 2.0.5 and 6 updates required quite an svn maneuver 
on the developers part outside of the main tree. It was not a natural 
progression in the same tree as we have now and those who tried to build 
their own version of 2.0.6 likely failed.

If you have to build something, try 2.0.3 or 2.0.4 from a full fresh svn 
-r for that exact revision or build the latest and greatest if you are 
just testing anyway.
