The current patch looks too much like a quick hack.

Has upstream been notified? I believe the right way would be to fix
monotone-viz so that it uses lablgtk2's binding instead of having two
bindings of the same function. If monotone-viz doesn't use any more
binding that is not provided by lablgtk2, it should build pure bytecode
executables (without -custom) on bytecode architectures.

Note: this is the first time I hear about monotone-viz...
