Et voilà!

I have pulled your changes to the patches then rebuilt all. I have
uploaded them at the same location.

I did not need to tweak the ,,build-order file.

By the way, what happens if I want to build it while being root (or
under a sudo bash)? I had to type in me password several times because I
did not dare try it being root. Do you have a trick to avoid typing it?
