The change I made was updating the /spec file to bring curl up to 7.22 
in early November.  In checking the date, I see that I worked from 
https://github.com/janneke/gub and that the files in 
lilypond.org/download/gub-binaries and /gub-sources haven't been updated 
since March'11.  Is it possible that the change to the various tools 
used to build GUB or by GUB to build liloypond, are looking in outdated 
places or incompatible places?
