That still doesn't explain it, bug showed dependencies on libraries that
no version of .8 ever had, no matter what machine he ran it on those
should not have shown.

Well, that's exactly why it should undergo some testing on new arches. It
is in experimental so it can get some testing from people who actually do
want to test it. If you are going to port something from experimental I
think it is more important to give it a test run before releasing because
that is why it is in experimental - so it can undergo testing from people
who do want to test it. If you are not one of these people then why
compile it?
The compiler says that he did test it on .6 which is great, but
unfortunately he didn't have time to do test it with .8.. Sadly .6 should
not have worked and .8 should have :<
