I'm backing it up with code.  See attached.

What I'm suggesting is the patch attached to this email message.  I made it
work, in the matter of several hours, divided in half because I had an
unexpected hour-long power outage in the middle of it.  I don't know how much
more salient I can make my point.  I did it.  It can be done.  Either you
aren't trying hard enough, or it is outside of your ability.  Please stop
torturing the other developers with pronouncements of bugs in the build
system, when clearly, the bugs are in your own build system.  Which I've now
proven TWICE.
