I've gotten reports on three or four different packages so far. But the
problem is that I'm now getting reports of build failures on packages that
seemed to succeed when I first tested, so I don't know exactly what's going
on. Note that these are regressions since rc2.

What I'd really like to do is get the candidate release build and run a
stackage build with it to see if there are any other regressions.
