I'd suggest to build as much of GNU packages as possible with v2.05,
and see if they build OK and work (run test suites for those which
have them).  This should be a good test of the stability and good
shake-down of any remaining bugs.

It's a large job, so unless there's code somewhere that is ready to be
committed, I'd advise against this.
