How is the truncation problem going (if the rest of the similar linkages
works, this would be close, too)?

How about mount/mountdsp (it is actually used), but the user part does not
build until install time (for some reason)?

For the Debian 6/7 based builds, have you noticed any cases where the
virtual machine just suddenly reboots?
There is at least one case of double fault (going immediately to triple
fault and reset) that I am trying to reproduce, but forgot how it is triggered.
