[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

This is a bug in compilation.

After ./configure with xft libs, src/Makefile has this line in it:

XFT_LIBS=-lXrender -L/usr/lib/1 -linux-gnu -lXft

this causes the build to fail at link time when linking with Xft.  I believe
that XFT_LIBS is being set correctly by a line in the configure script.

XFT_LIBS=`$PKG_CONFIG --libs "xft >= 0.13.0"|sed -e 's,///*,/,g'`

But maybe somewhere in the toolchain this is getting mangled before it
makes it's way into src/Makefile?  Maybe some command in the chain is
searching and replacing anything with -l in it?

I seemed to have fixed it in my sources by replacing
"-L/usr/lib/1 -linux-gnu" with "-L/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu"
