Yup, John is correct on this.  Sure it's great that you can load the
binary package, but whatever magic was done to get the package built
should be codified into a patch for the source.

This one has been reported before.  Since it's not in 1.5-release, I
think you should go ahead and submit a PR on it.  Otherwise we won't see
it fixed for the 1.5.1 release (or the 1.6 release).
