Substitute availability has been progressing well for core-updates, with
the biggest fix being the switch to datefudge for the nss tests on 32bit
systems.

Unfortunately it's been a while since core-updates has been rebased, and
the master branch hasn't been quiet so even though substitute
availability looks good, core-updates is missing ~2500 commits from
master, including some impactful changes and not representative of the
state of master if it was merged.

I did try rebasing around 3 weeks ago, but I got stuck on some rust
related conflicts and gave up. I've had another go now though and I've
managed to rebase, although I did remove some of the rust changes (I've
sent them as patches here [1].

Hopefully the builds won't take more than a week or two to happen.
