Hi George,
I've released FTE v0.1.2-alpha. This release includes bug fixes and an improved build process. You can obtain the new builds from the official FTE website: https://kpdyer.com/fte/
The v0.1.2-alpha binaries have been tested on Ubuntu 12.10, Ubuntu 13.04, RHEL 6.4 and OSX 10.8.4. The 32-bit/64-bit linux binaries were compiled on RHEL6.4 with GLIBC 2.12.
Please let me know if this resolves the issue you encountered.
-Kevin
It seems that the new bundles work! I can successfully bootstrap Tor using them.
I guess next step here is to decide whether we should deploy FTE and what steps need to happen before doing so. I hope to write a "How to get your pluggable transports deployed" document soon.
