Simon I love you for posting that!! I just started to compile things for myself and came upon the same question but did not know where to ask!
Fantastic!
It's always comforting knowing that even people like you, who stay up on the latest OSS developments, run into these problems. Thanks for asking that question, it's definitely getting bookmarked by me!
