Thanks, I think with luck this is now nearly under control.

The systemd issue remains but I'm going to let someone else tackle that,
its not from any recent patches.

There was another fsl-arm linux-imx failure which I've mentioned to
Otavio. It looks like a parallel make race issue to me, probably
specific to the imx kernel.

I'm still waiting on the autobuilder but things are looking a *lot*
greener.
