Braden reminded me to post an update on this ;-)

My last rebuild showed only ~100 failures, I'm not sure what I've done differently
this time. I suspect that the removal of libtool-ltdl and all related packages from
my full-install might have caused this and I'm in the process of rebuilding those with libtool-2.
I've uploaded the current logs to http://karsten.fedorapeople.org/
After a quick glance at them I think that there are quite a few easy fixes, but I still
have to find out what causes p.e. the cracklib failure.
