I think that would save time :-)

/usr/bin/mklibs:467: DeprecationWarning: raising a string exception is deprecated
  raise "Unresolvable symbol %s" % name
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/mklibs", line 467, in <module>
    raise "Unresolvable symbol %s" % name
Unresolvable symbol g_warn_message@Base@unknown

To reproduce (assuming you have debian sid or lenny installed) you'll
need to do something like this (besides building and installing your
version of mklibs and mklibs-copy of course):
$ apt-get install build-essential subversion
$ svn co svn://svn.debian.org/svn/d-i/trunk/installer
$ cd installer/build
$ apt-get build-dep debian-installer
$ make all_build

I'm running amd64, but I suspect the error can be reproduced on i386
as well. Eventually we should test on a few different architectures.

Cheers,
