0ad/0.0.26-3 builds fine for me with an up-to-date pbuilder sid
chroot. I highly recommend building packages in a clean chroot
environment, using tools such as pbuilder or sbuild. Packages failing
to build from source in a dirty environment is not a RC bug and I
can't really help you debug why it's not working in your particular
environment.
