build.log is for Antti's eyes only. :)
Logs are virtually the same, with or without that *old* commit, which is
actually replaced by this one[1].
So of course it isn't in 3.9.0-0.rc0.git7.1.fc19.x86_64. ;)
Building particular module groups(skge & Co.) rather than build an
entire kernel tree isn't big deal, likewise.
You know that better than me. ;)
The real question is whether someone will help squeeze this bug.


Cheers,
poma
