Yet another reason for doing a mass rebuild at the end of the
development cycle. Bad time windows of python, gcc and whatnot have
always existed and will continue to do so. Sometimes we notice,
sometimes not.

That's the price for piecing together a distribution from different
states of the environment from over 8 months. Oh and did I mention
that changes in glibc (chownat) *run-time* broke the fakeroot packages
as well? So much for glibc hasn't changed enough to warrant rebuilds.

Mass rebuilds for F7 are out of the question now, but they should
become mandatory for F8 again. Once towards the end of a development
cycle before freezing.

I just hope this isn't the tip of the iceberg, otherwise F7 will be
re-codenamed Titanic. :(
