In general (someone else, correct me if I'm wrong) this list would much
rather have you attach a compressed build.log when you mail in the
problem. That way, there is no chance of permissions problems, and years
from now, the logs will still be here for posterity.

The problem is a python script that runs in the build process has a
KeyError. I did notice that for you, that python script is running on
files in `/usr/local/share/xcb', while it runs on files in
`/usr/share/xcb' on mine. These are a part of the `x11-proto/xcb-proto'
package. Do you have a version of xcb-proto installed in /usr/local? It
is possible that the libxcb configure script is picking an old version
of xcb-proto that is installed in `/usr/local' over the correct version
installed in `/usr'.

I would recommend removing `/usr/local/share/xcb' and trying to install
libxcb again.
