Hi!

I can do that, but I didn't find the bug in bugzilla. Shall I create a new one?
In the meantime, I pushed the whole tarball from the build to [1], sha1sum is
fe62b3848edf51b6083ca53f861c3dd3af49dd4b  orc-0.4.23-r0.tar.xz

You can find the entire build log in orc-0.4.23-r0/temp/log.do_compile.7916 ,
the objects are located in orc-0.4.23-r0/build/ directory and the source is
in the orc-0.4.23-r0/orc-0.4.23/ directory.

OK

Right, that's the document I was studying.
