From fedora: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=abiword.git;a=blob;f=abiword-2.8.6-libwpd.patch;h=a3f4a474e5a5b5c6296442e43522f743345be0e6;hb=HEAD Reproducible: Always
This would probably need a revbump I think :-/
looks like it is removing ifdefs, not sure it would be safe to apply without feedback from upstream.
Reported then: http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=13050
Upstream is so unresponsive :S
I think we should use this fedora patch as upstream looks to now care of bugs affecting 2.8.x releases and looks like it's being used in fedora without issues for months
