Well, I have a bunch of issue with the current repo for 4.1.4.

1) giflib doesn't build.  it's been changed from a dude style spec (so minimal,
using the Solaris dir to do its work)  to a pure spec, and it's just
plain borkened.

I've mentioned it to Adriaan, and don't remember if I got a response, but if
there was, it wasn't anything that helped because I haven't built the repo in
weeks.

2) kdelibs when it got bounced back and forth between 4.1.4, 4.2 and back
to 4.1.4 lost some patch files.

3) kdegames fails, and I forget on what.  it was something that built since
last summer then broke.

Hosts:

S10U5, 32-bit Athlon XP, patched both S10 and SS12

S10U6, 64-bit Intel Q6600, patched both S10 and SS12

S10U6, 64-bit SF280R, patched both S10 and SS12 (well,
a few weeks out since I shut it down after the non-movement
on giflib)

Stock installs, stock users, no funny paths or environment settings
other than my two line prompt, cause I got tired of being
accused that my build environment was borked.
