There is only one really old dependency that we're still dragging
around: glib-ghash. I just recompiled the SRPM that we had for it and
that works on CentOS 8.

When I looked at the Debian 10 port recently I had to take a long hard
look at glib-ghash and what we're actually using it for, because it's
not available for Debian 10 and (obviously) our old SRPM won't do.

Turned out: It's for nothing. CCEd once had a ton of debugging symbols
to find memory leaks. Starting with CentOS 6 (on 64-bit) we noticed a
tremendous instability of CCEd. So I then went and stripped the whole
debugging shenanigans out. That fixed the stability issues for good and
I had forgotten to remove the "build requires: glib-ghash" from the
building process.

Something else: I almost got the "yum groupinstall blueonyx" procedure
sorted for 5210R. There are a few cosmetic and procedural changes needed
for the initial network configuration. But I should be able to wrap
these up over the weekend.
