It's failing for me on both Fedora and Gentoo.  The mmap patch only
seems relevant to ARM so I doubt it will make a difference, though
thanks to Matthias for porting this.

I don't think CACAO is release critical enough to not do a release
today, but if someone has a fix then I'll obviously include it.  We
can always fix it with the inevitable minor releases we'll need for
security updates.
