Thanks for the pointer to the bug... I went back and took a closer
look at my package spec and I had a broken workaround for this problem
in there.  I got the workaround fixed and I've gotten 1.8.5-rc1 to
build.  It'd be nice to figure out the "real" fix for this problem.
I'm also working on getting Open/R2 packaged for Fedora but it'd be
nice to have someone with the appropriate hardware/circuits to do some
testing.
