Yes.  Here's what I hit with your original series

  $ git am -3 k
  Applying: maint: add our 'bootstrap_post_import_hook' function
  Applying: build: refactor how lists of coreutils programs are defined
  Applying: build: don't use recursive make to build the 'src' subdirectory
  fatal: sha1 information is lacking or useless (cfg.mk).
  Repository lacks necessary blobs to fall back on 3-way merge.
  Cannot fall back to three-way merge.
  Patch failed at 0003 build: don't use recursive make to build the 'src' 
subdirectory
  The copy of the patch that failed is found in:
     /h/j/w/co/cu/.git/rebase-apply/patch
  When you have resolved this problem, run "git am --resolved".
  If you prefer to skip this patch, run "git am --skip" instead.
  To restore the original branch and stop patching, run "git am --abort".

I worked around that problem, but as mentioned separately,
I'm seeing numerous make syntax-check problems, and for those
I would appreciate a re-spin.
