Thanks for the patch, I've applied it to the experimental tree which should soon move to unstable. Since it's failing during ld, I would have assumed I could use LDFLAGS instead of CFLAGS, do you think that would be a problem? > > Is there a corresponding binutils bug open?

Do you agree it's a bug in binutils? Or do you think gtk upstream should make IA__gdk_display_open extern on ppc64? (I'd like to get this fixed at the proper place to build out of the box; either ld should find its way, or gtk's upstream should change the code and/or pass a flag for ppc64.) Thanks, -- Loïc Minier
