Bug#236428: libXext.a: skipping incompatible... cannot find -lXext.

["Mike Mestnik) (The Archmage Forever" <cheako@train.is-a-geek.org>]

Package: libxext-dev
Version: 4.3.0-2
Severity: normal

I was trying to build [1]dri-mach64-2002.12.29 on my sparc.  For DRI to work
I'm told I need to keep byte size matched for kernel and user.  This means I
must build dri in 64 bit.  I don't realy know what this error means but
can/is Xext 64 bits?
