There are a two more that I missed initially: php5 and mono. I'll try 
building them and file bugs.

At one point I hoped to also get rid of firebird2.1 in favour of 
firebird2.5. The later, however is at release candidate stage and may 
not stabilize enough before the freeze. Even if it does, providing 
a proven stable version seems like a good idea.
