I certainly hope not! I hope such bugs don't make it into SUMO. I
was referring to the situation where people are updating random
packages between SUMOs. Without a proper dependency checking system,
"update all to most recent" is the best we can do.

./configure --prefix=/depot/gnu --exec-prefix=/depot/gnu/plat ...
has been working for me for just ages. So much so that I've forgotten
about it, I just keep doing ./config.status --recheck. There was the
package-get breakage (ultimately EFS IIRC?) but that's OK now too.
Symptoms?
