The fact that it's broken since that release is not in contradiction with what I said. You can work around the problem introduced in that revision by first performing a native build, because bin2obj is only called if the css.inc file is out-of-date.

The problem is not that it's not installed. It's that you try to use the just-compiled version of that binary (by explicitly calling ../bin2obj), which may have been cross-compiled and hence non-functional on the current build system, rather than the globally installed one.
