FLAC Support Missing in Latest vorbis-tools?

I tried to encode some FLACS to ogg vorbis after the most recent update to vorbis-tools, and got the error,

$ oggenc 1.Hyperventilate.flac 
ERROR: Input file "1.Hyperventilate.flac" is not a supported format

I ignored the problem for a while, thinking maybe I was just doing it wrong, but I was pretty sure it worked before the update.  Today I tried the PKGBIULD from abs, and noticed this warnings from configure:

configure: WARNING: FLAC and/on OggFLAC libraries or headers missing, oggenc
will NOT be built with FLAC read support.
configure: WARNING: FLAC and/or OggFLAC libraries or headers missing, ogg123
will NOT be built with FLAC read support.

I do have the flac package installed.  Does anyone else have this problem?  Is this an issue with the package or something on my end? (should I contact the maintainer?  report a bug somewhere?)

Edit: Found something else

checking for OggFLAC__stream_decoder_new in -lOggFLAC... no
configure: WARNING: libOggFLAC missing

Yes, I'm definitely seeing the problem is well.  I'm anxious to get a fix, since I rip everything to flac and then encode to oggvorbis.  This has me pretty blocked right now.

Anybody know of a fix?

I have no ideas.  I did email the package maintainer but haven't heard anything back.

I've opened a bug report and posted a patch here http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/6833

Just upgraded to 1.1.1-5.  FLAC seems a-okay.
