+So not too bad, there are three packages that don't build.
+
+seed is failing to link to libgobject, even though the updated patch should fix
+that.  It could be that something is wrong with glib, which needed some fixes to
+build because of UsrMove.
+
+guile is giving this error:
+./stdio.h:1030:1: error: 'gets' undeclared here (not in a function)
+
+beid-middleware fails to build when it tries to call close() on a socket, but the
+close() function is undefined, and I don't see anywhere that it is defined, so I
+don't know where it thinks it's supposed to be coming from.  It also seems likely
+that the beid-middleware-4.0.0.r954_fix_xpi_for_FF5.patch needs to be updated for
+this thing to actually work.
