I noticed the version in your bleeding edge repo is different (1.0rc4) from the Makefile (r32726).

discovered during linking failure troubleshooting as documented here: chaseadam#1
Attempting to use 1.0rc4 resulted in patch application failures. Before I go too much deeper, I was wondering it you had a newer Makefile (and patches) which never made it to the repo.
