why build Armory?
I thought you should never trust precompiled binaries and if you care about your coins, you should always build from source?
Oh no, it's fine! I just wanted to make sure you had an actual desire to compile and weren't just getting in over your head. I think the directions are fine as long as the correct tag is used. The git submodule thing, AFAIK, is more of an insurance policy whenever switching branches/tags. The FCGI code hasn't really changed since it was introduced but other submodules could change between versions if they're ever introduced.
