Any news on this? We now are in a hurry because the hard freeze is
almost in 10 days, which means that we must do the upload very soon
(i.e. in the coming hours).

If the problem that I encountered only happens when building from git,
but not from the unpacked sources, I'm open to uploading it as it is,
and fix this git issue later.

Please tell me what you think.
