Thanks for the info. I'll work on both. I think a build for 12.2 should support the stock installation. I can provide users a warning. Thus, I'll try building with 0.4.3 too. I can modify the build script to detect which version is installed and then apply the patch as necessary. Then users can choose which version they want to build or download.

I only wish the failure occurred sooner in the process. The failure does not occur until an hour and a half into the build, probably close to the end of the process. There is no way to expedite the process so this might take day or two. :(
