Most of the above are still broken. In addition, I thought uninative
was going too well, turns out we broke its enablement on the
autobuilders. With that "fixed" we've seen some additional issues (and
some new 'random' race failures):

* a gcc4 verses gcc5 conflict in the libstdc++ ABI (uninative)
* a codepage issue with mcopy (uninative)
* an additional gobject-introspection dependency problem (simple?)
* parallel make race in ncurses make install
* parallel make race in openssl (borrow patches from other distro?)
* some xmlto execution issue

So work remains to get M3 into shape. Not sure how much of my weekend
I'm planning to spend in trying to sort this out...

Cheers,

Richard
