[Cin] Is one pre-built dynamic and static binary for user selection possible?

[Phyllis Smith]

In reviewing this thread of 32 notes, I was looking for anything that could
be included in the manual to help in building a custom version.  However, I
think that the current statements of:

> 1) Getting a build to work in a custom environment is not easy.
> 2) With persistence, you can get results, but it may take several tries to
> stabilize the build. If you need help, email the log and config.log, which
> is usually sufficient to determine why a build failed.

says it all.  Did anyone else note something that is important to help?
