I would assume that commit 5476be7e158b33920a77f4c1718b38e9d3ecb454
which is the first devel/027candidates started to really diverge is
your first commit you can consider as good (you can try yourself doing
git checkout 5476be7e158b33920a77f4c1718b38e9d3ecb454, compiling and
checking if it's doing what you expect)

so assuming that's the good base, you do:
$ git bisect start
$ git bisect good 5476be7e158b33920a77f4c1718b38e9d3ecb454
$ git bisect bad 6a39d522936046d038585bdb1ca847f5ff0f4c04

Bisecting: 56 revisions left to test after this (roughly 6 steps)
[9f353cc287733cb5fc70ab67b3752557a4101753] Revert efea2ba1, signal
monitor deadline tweak, if favor of a better, future fix.

now run your make install  and test
if it's good you type:
$ git bisect good
if it's bad you do:
$ git bisect bad

after that, make install , test, repeat

There will be no need to re-run configure, make distclean or make
clean so it will be a very straightforward procedure.
you should be done in less that 10 minutes

once you've done, it will tell you the first commit where it's not
working for you and you report that back to me :)
