Could you also try to bild it dynamically linked to the version on the
stock CDs and try if that binary works with the updated version or vice
versa, whatever might work? We cannot assume a specific version, so it
would make sense to be flexible - if nothing else works, provide both
versions.

I have downloaded the whole bunch of updates (with the exception of
unneeded kernel architectures and that kde-i18n junk, but I can get
that, too). Sadly I don't have bandwidth nor space to put it up, but I
can mail you the burned CD. It's already 500 MB...
