Only after applying this 2nd solution, i.e. the patch

the bootstrap completed *without* errors! (With just the first, the same 
errors shows up in the build log...)

My suggestion is to wait few days before declaring this bug FIXED, so 
that we can do more tests.

Anyway, as you prefer.


Ciao... oops, Good Night,
 Angelo.
