This issue is releated to different python libcap/Makefile Patches.
The old (-r4) one has these two lines in it:
+libcap_wrap.o: libcap_wrap.c
+       $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -fPIC -c $< -o $@
+
The new phython patch uses the standard rule.

yep, but i'm looking through the r4 and r5 stuff and cant really see much of a difference between the sources ...

r5 installs a py file that r4 doesnt, but that's about all i can see ...

fixed -r4 and removed r5, sorry guys
