Ah, I thought that while current was on the bleeding edge, the code
should certainly at least compile before it's checked in!  Hard to
imagine any good reason why it wouldn't complile, short of problems in
the build environment.

Heck, I feel stupid for actually *testing* the code I contributed - I
didn't realize broken code was OK too.

Yeah, I've been tracking -current for more than a year, and little of
this advice actually seemed to be helpful.  But maybe it's just me.  I also
had problems getting a just checked-out version -current to get very
far through 'make world'.
