Hi!

It seems the -maverick mainline builds are being built in a Hardy chroot?
They're reporting GCC: (GNU) 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7) which isn't even
an up to date Hardy system (the gcc in -security is 4.2.4)!

Can this be fixed to build in a maverick chroot instead so locally built
modules can be loaded?

Came to my attention via this:

Thanks,

-Kees
