Is this the 10.2 or the cooker build? In case of the (2006 &) cooker build, a lot of packages have issues with gcc-4 issues. These could be fixed (by somebody who knows what they are doing). I therefore think its better to look at the 10.2 packages (pre gcc-4) and identify the packages to be dropped from there.
