This is odd. With parallel building enabled the package fails in the middle of the process. With parallel building disabled the build fails at about 3/4 of the way.

Tail end of the build error log with your original test patch with parallel building disabled:

==============================================

The error makes some sense with respect to what we are doing. I see the function Verify, but I don't know how to define the reference crypt. :) If you provide a patch or instructions I'll try again.
