Thanks! I'll follow up with you shortly. My plan was actually to create a fingerprint of the repository, so you can just checkout a tree, use the fingerprint, and build the RC from that. The setup would just be a default perf build (i.e. no custom build.mk at all, just a regular boot+configure+make+binary-dist.)
Right now I'm going over a few final touch-ups with Herbert before I start building everything (we might cherry-pick one or two minor things to base here momentarily.) After that I'll fingerprint and send it out. Also, for RCs, I believe we traditionally keep RELEASE=NO, so the version number doesn't come off as "7.8" but as "7.8.<date>" instead - indicative of it being "not the final version". So you shouldn't need to tweak anything - just use the fingerprint and build.
