Thank you for the response. Being a complete neophyte, I left the
settings at the apt-build package defaults, not expecting the default
to be invalid! (I have not found docs for the settings in
apt-build.conf)
I tried commenting out that line, and got a different set of errors,
so I need to learn how to set mcpu. I gather I need to tell it what
processor I have, but I don't know the syntax.

Sorry, can't find memstat, is it already installed?
(Remove it first, or try running 'apt-get clean')
