Unable to build GIMP-2.99 on Debian Sid

[Elle Stone]

GIMP-2.99 builds just fine on Gentoo. But it won't build on a fresh
install of Debian Sid. It also wouldn't build on Debian testing

The current error in building (having solved several previous "won't
build" errors) seems to be with making the symbolic icons. I don't have
a clue what to do next.

Here's the terminal output:

$ make -j4 > /dev/null
Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated here (and will be fatal in
Perl 5.32), passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in
m/^\s*typedef\s+enum\s*

            (?:/\*<
              (([^*]|\*(?!/))*)
             >\s*\*/)?

The problem with building on Debian (but not on Gentoo or OpenSUSE)
turned out to be this:

https://www.wiki.gimp.org/wiki/Hacking:Problems_and_solutions#GIMP_build_fails_with_message_.27Couldn.27t_recognize_the_image_file_format_for_file_..2Fcursor-bad.png.27

So it's not a problem with the Symbolic icons, and GIMP did finally
build successfully.

Best,
Elle
