Thanks for this advise, I haven't tried this yet. Unfortunately it 
didn't help.

Can anybody please try to reproduce the build process on Linux from the 
current master branch in a completely clean build directory and with a 
clean guile cache (~/.cache/guile)?

I did the following:

cd ~/gnucash/build
rm rf *
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ~/gnucash/src
make all

Can anybody tell me more precisely, what this error message actually 
means? Does "no code for module (gnucash core-utils)" mean, that 
something is not built yet? If yes, what is not built? Target 
"gnc-core-utils" is already built.
