I couldn't find the email of August 7th at all. But I did see you quote
it (but without the configs in it) earlier today. The first answer you
got was from Baurzhan asking you to post the configs. That was your
first clue.

I'm thinking it's the entire email that got ignored. Possibly *because*
of the attachment? That might have raised the spam score. But the reason
I asked you to check the archive is because that's a useful cross-check
if you see that people are confused asking for information you thought
you already provided ... could save you time in future should this
situation arise again. Try including the configs inline in your email
next time, not as attachments.

It shouldn't matter what the build platform is. It's the same software
and should yield the same results, given the same config.

Eh? I was just dividing between possible causes, not competing. If I can
build and you can't, you either don't have the latest (but you say you
do, so let's rule that out) or your config is broken (looking more like
the real reason, but we'll see it soon, so I await your further email on
the topic).

You've missed my meaning entirely, I meant only "ahead" not as in a
competition, but in the sense that I have managed to get a result that
was further along the journey from "1. create a config", "2. build
successfully", "3. boot successfully" ... you're apparently still stuck
at step 1, so let's focus on what's wrong there once we see your config.

I'm confused by this last paragraph, which seems to contradict itself:
"I have multiple Jessie installs to work on Live Build 4.x" and "I am
yet to get a successful build with 4.x" ... is there some typo here, or
some shade of meaning that differentiates the two that I missed?
