Hi, I just tried to compile xchat on a Linux amd64 box, and the linking problem is present also there. The attached patch configure.in.patch solves the build problem, at least for linux, kfreebsd and hurd. Attached is a patch for debian/rules too. autoconf works (with warnings), putting dh_autoreconf there (or running autoreconf manually) does not work. Some work is needed to make autoreconf working if needed.
Thanks!
