Man, I hate floats... I try to avoid them as much as I can,
because I am dreading the butterfly effect. And, this time around
I was lazy, and one of the butterflies kicked me.

Funny thing about the m68k: My project ACTUALLY has an m68k virtual machine 
inside. ;)


Okay, so: 

This release (0.25) will be fixed in the debian/rules file.
Next release (0.26) will be fixed in the software.

Thank you for pointing it out!


One last thing... Why did your patch say "ifneq... i386"?
