(20) Get the PATH right so we pick up febootstrap:

  PATH=../febootstrap:$PATH make

(21) "No package augeas-libs available".

/me grumbles about package name changes.

You have to change `-i augeas-libs' to `-i augeas' in
make-initramfs.sh and make-initramfs.sh.in.  Unfortunately this change
is only applicable to RHEL 5, and cannot be made in libguestfs
upstream.  [See attached patch]

(22) "exec: chroot not found"

To workaround this temporarily I do:

  PATH=../febootstrap:/usr/sbin:$PATH make

[That is building away now, more to follow]
