Again supplementing my response, we have completed

I learned much more about apt-get and dpkg use than I knew 
before; my respect for the care which the Debian project is 
confirmed.

That done, I pulled a copy of the external release which we 
slipstreamed in (Bill had made a minor tweak addressing a 
template), and we get:

No warnings, no errors, and an even stricter g++ still

The test box is a Celeron 333, with 256 M of ram, and an IDE 
harddrive; I dialled back the -j1, and have no distcc running.

So, happy news on the binary creation front; we work with the 
same codebase on CentOS-4, and Debian-testing with no #ifdef's 
needed for intra compiler or distribution variations.

As the markets I test against were closed, I have not yet 
verified function and will do so tomorrow on both platforms. 
Then I think I will announce this to Freshmeat.

Thanks again, testers.
