This bug has been sitting here for too long and is stopping a much
better version of exult from getting into testing.
As explained in my previous message, 1) I don't have a MIPS machine and
can't reproduce the bug, 2) it looks like some other tool is failing in
a very straightforward step, and 3) there have been new releases of
libgimp2.0-dev since the bug was reported. I really need some feedback
here, I'm not even sure if the problem is still present.
Thanks.
