Hi Jonathan,
the attached mail is a bug report we received for our Debian packages,
the TECkit library didn't build any more on 64bit architectures. It was
triggered because we configured texlive with "--enable-shared" to build
libkpathsea.so.4.0.0. The easy solution was to use
"--enable-shared=default", so that it is ineffective in the directories
for other libs, like TECkit. But there's also a patch in the report
which allows to compile with "--enable-shared" in TECkit. I'm not sure
it's useful for you, but just in case, here is it.
(Is it okay to contact you directly, or should we send xetex-related
things to the mailing list? Is that possible without subscribing?)
Regards, Frank

Package: texlive-bin
Version: 2007-8
Severity: serious
Tags: patch
Justification: no longer builds from source
The version of libtool in .../libs/teckit is buggy (rant about libtool
in general elided ;-). Specifically, it directs g++ to link in
certain system objects that the compiler would normally supply itself,
but neglects to tell the compiler not to introduce its own instances
of the same objects. As a result, texlive-bin FTBFS on amd64 (and
presumably other architectures as well):

[...]
The attached patch addresses this by supplying -nostdlib per the
current /usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4 (which BTW contains many other
changes, none of which appear to be necessary at the moment); could
you please apply it ASAP (particularly given that most of texlive now
specifically depends on texlive-bin 2007-8)?
Thanks!
