eh -- plain rebuild doesn't suffice -- tests still fail
and some new failures happen:


======================================================================

and possibly more

would need to dig in, may be later, meanwhile pushed my slight tune ups, feel
welcome to fix up.  You do know where to get the .orig.tar.gz ;)
