I don't know if it is even supposed to compile on x86_64 but I gave it a shot and it don't so here is the bug report. /usr/lib/gcc-lib/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.4/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: out/wxc/ewxw_main.o: relocation R_X86_64_32S can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC out/wxc/ewxw_main.o: could not read symbols: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [out/wxc/libwxc-gtk2.4.2-0.8.so] Error 1 !!!

Yes, the wxhaskell Makefile seems to ignore CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS settings. A manually patched build (and adding -fPIC) runs through on my amd64 machine -- I will try to add the fix to the ebuild during the next days ... ks
Fixed in CVS. It builds for me on an amd64 machine. I haven't run any real test for wxhaskell, though, because I have remote login only and testing GUI programs would be relatively slow. Therefore, please complain if it segfaults on you immediately. Closing for now. ks
