Thank you for your efforts, and the quick fix.
As a side thought.. since I too diffed the two trees and came to the
same conclusion after you said there was no source changes (looking to
see if the packages had been tampered with somehow?). I noticed most of
the change in the Makefile seemed to do with nasm. Any chance that will
help / correct the problem with nasm 0.99.06 that was someone noticed
back in November?
