It's clean, and i also re-created the build-26 directory

Here is the result of git status:

#+BEGIN_VERSE
╭─   ptechoueyres@killashandra   ~/Travail/VCS/Emacs/emacs/emacs-26     
emacs-26   1   
╰ LC_ALL=C git status
On branch emacs-26
Your branch is behind 'origin/emacs-26' by 1 commit, and can be fast-forwarded.
  (use "git pull" to update your local branch)

Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)

        build-26/

nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)
#+END_VERSE

and before the build I also did a git clean -dfx

> Anyway, I cannot see what all this could have with your OS update.

I don't too, but as it's the only thing that changed ...
