Only trouble I had was on 5.6 the build failed due to some curses symbols in
gtx. It worked just fine on 5.7. In fact, I'm running the client on 5.7 and
one linux 2.2.16 right now without any trouble.

Well, yes and no... It means it most likely isn't suitable as a file server
at the moment - although I wonder if maybe they changed it to operate like
the linux version of 3.6? The linux version of the 3.6 fileserver actually
creates files that are visible on the filesystem, hence no need for a scary
fsck replacement. (At least that's how it looked to me.)
