Not really. That works well for building it yourself and you should
follow those instructions for your own benefit. It doesn't work in our
build system for various reasons I can give hand-wavey answers to but
Dennis Gilmore or another Release Engineer could answer in depth if
you need. [And from my last asking about this.. it isn't something
that can be fixed simply.]
