Hi Laura, 

I think the Œmantis¹ thing might have some type of 10.1 bug reporting
features, but I¹m not sure.

With regards to your #1, I see this error sometimes when I compile ibob
designs w/ 7.1 (mlib_legacy), but always disregard it ­ afaik mkbof is only
necessary to create the .bof files used with bee2/borph designs.  As long as
you get a .bit bitstream you should be ok.
