So not too bad, there are three packages that don't build.

seed is failing to link to libgobject, even though the updated patch should fix
that.  It could be that something is wrong with glib, which needed some fixes to
build because of UsrMove.

guile is giving this error:
./stdio.h:1030:1: error: 'gets' undeclared here (not in a function)

beid-middleware fails to build when it tries to call close() on a socket, but the
close() function is undefined, and I don't see anywhere that it is defined, so I
don't know where it thinks it's supposed to be coming from.  It also seems likely
that the beid-middleware-4.0.0.r954_fix_xpi_for_FF5.patch needs to be updated for
this thing to actually work.
