I've adjusted these two patches to play together, and pushed them.

Yeah, I thought so too. Changed.

I didn't touch this point.

I notice that duplicate_oids is now a good factor of 10 slower than it was
before (~0.04 sec to ~0.4 sec, on my machine). While this doesn't seem
like a problem for manual use, it seems annoying as part of the standard
build process, especially on slower buildfarm critters. I think we should
do what you said upthread and teach genbki.pl to complain about duplicate
oids, so that we can remove duplicate_oids from the build process.

I went ahead and pushed things as-is so we can confirm that duplicate_oids
has no portability issues that the buildfarm could find. But let's try
to get the build process change in place after a day or so.
