I'm on my slackware system right now. Here's the contents of /etc/issue and I left this as the out of the box default: Welcome to \s \r (\l)
I had to do git close with the line in the installation notes to get org-mode to update. The git program refused to overwrite the original Makefile. So having done that I ran make all sudo make install sudo make install-info and there were no errors or warnings of any kind. info org tells me org documentation is at 7.6 now too.
