The actual patch in the source code (extracted from the debian bugreport) is http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=30;filename=fsigned-char.patch;att=1;bug=512366

I'm completely new to Gentoo so I don't know how to change the ebuild myself. But I tested compiling the source directly that patch works fine.

Oops, I guess this shows how new to Gentoo I am, it was an EXTRA_ECONF issue in the end (I should've read the patch and the man page for ebuild). Anyway, the ebuild still needs to be changed for ppc users.

more a CXXFLAGS issue.. sorry for all the noise.
