Currently I see the biggest problems in the fact that gcc builds often 
fail with some std::?stream linking error.

http://hydra.nixos.org/job/nixpkgs/stdenv/gcc48.x86_64-linux
http://hydra.nixos.org/job/nixpkgs/stdenv/stdenv.x86_64-darwin

The fact that stdenv builds despite that gcc48 doesn't is a complete 
mystery to me (on x86_64-linux).


There are also some other very strange linking regressions against 
master, e.g.:

http://hydra.nixos.org/job/nixpkgs/stdenv/popplerQt4.x86_64-linux
http://hydra.nixos.org/job/nixpkgs/stdenv/amule.x86_64-linux
(I've seen some others IIRC.)

I checked the poppler case, and the requested libraries *are* found by 
ldd (as they are on RPATH), and interestingly they're reported as unused 
by ldd -u.

x-updates is IMHO mergeable. Mesa-9.2.0 update would be easy [mesa], but 
I forgot that .1 is always first "stable" release. 9.2.1 can be expected 
in about a month. Those who want the radeonsi driver or LLVM-accelerated 
R600-based drivers are encouraged to test. There's probably not a 
significant benefit for others, except if you're accidentally suffering 
from some bug it fixes.

I suppose we don't need to rush with x-updates and want to wait for 
stdenv-updates (merge both at once)?
