That's what worked for me. Without having to rebuild. I just downloaded 0.1.5.zip extracted it, ed25519 gyp fix and presto.
Was getting "Can't forge, node not synchronized!" for over a minute, so just stopped the node. So might have sync'ed up given enough time... no patience on my part

With stop/edit/start took under 10secs to synchronized. Also deleted the blockchain.db before starting up the node again.
Thanks, I've updated the guide to stop/start just in case.
