Yes, for an evolving current that's true (I'd perhaps forgotten, as I've been away from current & was tired) but in the case of a release (& Alpha4 is intended for a release after fixes) I expect binaries on media to exactly match the identical src they are presumably made from, so as a simple sanity & machine hardware & file corruption etc check I always do the same simple make with any release. If re@ are not shipping a matched set of bins built from src theyre shipped with, I'd be very suprised, & would want to know. > Do you have other documentation I should look at?

I find context diffs easier to read, & these were just to read, to show where ALPHA4 is broken. I do not want those patches stoed to apply, that would be wrong, they are just temporary to show where ALPHA4 will commit suicide, untill re@ fixes underlying breakages.
