Michael, The build did not succeed so that made things a little simpler.
I did as you suggested and updated CVS HEAD with the older version.
That was a pretty simple fix. I also noticed that running "make build"
in any branch prior to FC-6 fails. I'm guessing this is expected.
Yes, FC-5 and older have reached end-of-life. FC-6 will reach EOL
in early December.
