Build Highlights:

1. New firmware with schmoo support for better Pi2 sdram overclocking.
   
   I'm able to hit a stable 600MHz with the following and this new firmware (your mileage may vary):
   
   Code:

   sdram_freq=600
over_voltage_sdram=5
sdram_schmoo=0x02000020
   The increased sdram bandwidth is a benefit with HEVC playback, particularly at 1080p.
   
   For testing, reduce gpu_mem to 64 (in order to test as much RAM as possible) then:
   
   Code:

   wget http://nmacleod.com/public/oebuild/memtester -O ~/memtester && chmod +x ~/memtester
systemctl stop kodi
~/memtester 850
   See sdram overclocking discussion for more details.
   
   
2. Partially strip libc which may provide improved stacktraces in non debug-enabled builds
   
3. libnfs 1.10.0
   
4. PR7030 updated with WOL fixes, @rewsteruk please confirm if this fixes remaining issue
