You can post these things on the list, just for reference or to check if anybody else has an idea. I would like to know what breaks, even if we cannot do something about it without any further and bigger works.

My current one is having built it and adjusted mpfire-ipfire to use the correct directory names (based on perl version) I now have a problem at the building cdrom stage which looks to be related to the rootfile. A lot of it seems to be missing including the /usr/bin/perl entries. I will investigate further but may need to come back with the error for advice and guidance.

Yes, it is a lot of try-and-error and very time-consuming :)
