Sorry for late reply.

I've just tried to re-build with defconfig from this autobuild and for
me it got successfully to the end.

I'm on master branch @ commit:
 --->8---
 commit 6a3a9784db170ec05b300f228cf8a4bc48d838ec
 Author: Michael Trimarchi <michael at amarulasolutions.com>
 Date:   Sun Mar 8 09:28:13 2015 +0100

    python-spidev: new package

I'll downgrade to the same commit as mentioned in autobuild:
 --->8---
 commit b9f39b2b389754bb53294311b938310283fda638
 Author: Gustavo Zacarias <gustavo at zacarias.com.ar>
 Date:   Tue Mar 3 15:43:09 2015 -0300

    whois: bump to version 5.2.5
 --->8---
and will give it another try, but frankly I don't expect any differences
because I didn't find any sensible commits in between these 2 snapshots.
