Yes, that is quite good. The implications I suppose are that if they perform the audit on 7.1a, the results will only be valid for binaries built exactly with that source. Any changes to the source would need to be audited as well.

But as long as 7.1a is proven solid, I think that should be enough for most people.

Then there is the question of any libraries TrueCrypt may use. I'm not familiar with the code, but I guess it's not a monolithic statically compiled chunk of code.
