in-tree builds does not work for me either :(

Let me pull the um patches out of this release, queue them up for the
next one after this, and try to figure out what is going on in a more
relaxed way.  I don't want the "real" bugfixes that are queued up right
now to be stopped from being released due to this odd arch.

I'll look into this later this week, no need for you to pull this out of
your build system just yet.
