           Product: Libxfce4util

Hey,

I just had a report from a Debian porter of ppc64 that libxfce4util didn't
build there because of the abicheck.sh.

The report is available at http://bugs.debian.org/682414 and says:

> libxfce4util FTBFS on ppc64, due to the ABI check test failing [1]. This
> test uses the nm binary to get the list of functions. However it looks
> for the functions in the text section, while ppc64 uses function
> descriptors, which appear in the data section.

Provided patch is:

--- libxfce4util-4.8.2.orig/libxfce4util/abicheck.sh
+++ libxfce4util-4.8.2/libxfce4util/abicheck.sh
