Everything seems to be identical. I think there must be something wrong
with the compiler, the linker, libtool, or some such.

Well, this gave me the idea of trying cross-compilation. It worked
when I passed "i386-linux" to the configure script :-) I had to use
some other tricks, like using Roman Hodek's dpkg-shlibdeps from dpkg-cross.
Unfortunately, "pure" cross compilation using just dpkg-cross didn't
work either.

I sort of give up... If there is a libtool/gcc/binutils guru around,
feel free to investigate about this. For now I'm uploading cross-compiled
packages (I have actually tested them and they seem to work).

Thanks.
