I hate to admit this, but could you remind me of how to get library and 
X versions? I think you probably do it rather more often than I do :-)

In actual fact it happens on at least two systems: a SPARC based on 
Debian "Etch" and an x86 based on Debian "Lenny". And it didn't used to 
happen on either, since I was routinely building on both.

I'm planning to assume that I've got some screwed projects, focus on x86 
(so as not to risk any bugs due to endianness, although I believe SPARC 
is OK by now) and go back in local svn to a point that will allow me to 
build reliably on 0.9.30+2.6.0.
