I've not seen this assertion fail in any other circumstance since I
added it.

The specific condition being detected is that the number of fields in
some recordtype is different between the runtime and buildtime definitions.

I suspect that, without intending to, you have epics modules in the
standard search paths (eg. /usr/local), or in your environment (eg. PATH
or LIBRARY_PATH), or perhaps some includes in configure/RELEASE.

I would suggest that you retry your builds in a completely clean
environment.  checkout/untar source into a fresh OS install (a VM would
be a quick way to do this).
