Notice that it is enough for the 32bit version to build, as there is really no
need for a 64bit emacs, and the 32bit version should run just fine on any
solution debian will consider for etch (either biarch or selectively built
multi-arch setup).

In any case, please don't break 32bit powerpc for things like this, as they
will definitively not be used in the etch timeframe, independently of any
number of bug reports Andreas send :)

No offense Andreas, but we can't afford fooling with pure-64 to break the
stuff that will actually ship in etch.
