This is why I script my builds, and have them recreate the entire thing from 
scratch (into an empty directory) each time.  That way, if you leave any 
steps out of your script, the result doesn't work.  (You can still have 
undocumented magic left over from a bygone era, but it's build steps in a 
bash script rather than binaries you don't know how to reproduce.)
