We have a patch to make various daemons build PIE and we mangle the
defaults in some config files -- other than that nothing interesting. I
went through it all quite recently and made sure you had the one or two
other patches that made sense.

We have these packages:
	bluez-bluefw-1.0-5.ppc.rpm
	bluez-hcidump-1.10-1.ppc.rpm
	bluez-libs-2.9-1.ppc.rpm
	bluez-libs-devel-2.9-1.ppc.rpm
	bluez-pin-0.23-2.ppc.rpm
	bluez-utils-2.9-1.ppc.rpm
	bluez-utils-cups-2.9-1.ppc.rpm

We do split the bluez-utils init scripts up, as discussed a few weeks
ago. I have patches outstanding for initscripts which make 'ifup bnep0'
responsible for starting pand, to make it just like a normal interface
-- even pppd is started that way, not by an initscript.

/me shudders. Autocrap considered harmful. You break cross-compilation
if you try to do that. I'd much prefer just to write portable code.

We keep our compiler-dudes in the US mostly so they're sleeping. I'll
poke one when they wake up.
