Thanks, that seems to have solved this problem.  But, I keep running into other build \
problems.  I've cherry-picked a few commits to fix issues so far, but I'm getting a \
few more problems that are less obvious.  I'd been working on updating to daisy and \
was hoping to get dylan to build on the new laptop first to make sure the built image \
functions okay.  I may need to go the other way around...

Thanks,
Bryan
