Okay, I think I can answer my own question (but still would appreciate external second thought). I carefully read the errata58.html Revision 1.7 commit dated Wed Oct 14 18:59:37: 'Unfortunately, and sadly, the src.tar.gz file on the offical release CD was created on the WRONG DAY, so it is from about 9 days after the release tree was tagged (and, thus after post-5.8 tree unlock, when eager developers swarm to do commits...) A replacement tgz file is being made available in the 5.8 release directory, as described in this errata...' I understand that I need to use cd-src.tar.gz for all patches 001-007. Correct?
