This is a first cut of the required packages:

sudo apt-get install mingw32 nsis faketime bison zip unzip tar \
        wget diffutils findutils build-essential automake patch \
	perl-base

[Well, the above and their dependencies, of course.]

If you could try a bare-bones Ubuntu 14.04 Docker, plus the above
packages, and let me know what happens, that would be great!
