So I take their tar ball, compile part of it, distribute the
compiled part with their tar ball entirely included in a
subdirectory, and I'm breaking section 2 because I didn't build
_all_ of it?

I have a different definition of `package' than you do in:

 2. You may copy and distribute the Software in unmodified form
 provided that the entire package, including - but not restricted
 to - copyright, trademark notices and disclaimers, as released
 by the initial developer of the Software, is distributed.

I have incuded the entire tar ball as released by initial
developer.
