I tried to reproduce the Centos5 64bit VM today, and I hit a couple of
problems that did not seem to be addressed by the building guide:

 1- OpenSSL is too old to connect to today's https
 servers. Eventually, the bootstrap script would stop on certain
 downloads. I made up a simple procedure to install a newer library
 [1], that I copied'n'pasted from [2].

 2- installation of the Perl module Archive::Zip fails in the test
 phase with obscure errors about garbage before or after the actual
 ZIP data. I changed the build instructions to force its installation
 [3]. I believe that this failure could be due to the ``age'' of
 CentOS 5 as well.

With these changes to the instructions, I could set up a VM, that is
now trying to compile tag 419.

I hope this helps.

Best regards.
