OK We are good on amd64 now;
===============================================
gnucash-1.9.0 archives ready for distribution:
gnucash-1.9.0.tar.gz
===============================================
I expect it will be the same on my stable x86 box too. I'll keep testing
builds during the week to make sure they pass make distcheck and post
any problems I encounter. I'll aim to do a release on sunday.
