We still have one failure in C++ that Honza will look at before we can
declare "it builds an entire distribution".

But other than that, it looks really good.  We just had to change half
a dozen packages were we had to add an attribute ((used)) since
functions/variables where used only via inline assembly.  And we
tested on x86, x86-64, ia64 and ppc.
