This is most likely because you didn't have a newly required sibling directory,
src/opcodes/ checked out beside src/sid/.  sid is being taught how to do
on-the-fly disassembly of instructions it is executing, by calling into the
gnu opcodes library.  (The opcodes library is shared by the gnu assembler,
disassembler tools, and the debugger, and handles individual
machine language <-> assembly language instruction translations.)

We are in the process of revamping the details of this mechanism, by the way.
