It compiles and two example I tested worked. I tried fiddling with the table widget (make rows and collumns not resizable), which did *not* work as expected, but that may be an upstream problem that also shows up on x86.

Note also that fxruby-1.2.4 also failed, similar error. Note that bug 88924 (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88924) seems to have several implications for this. I had to downgrade my fox from 1.4 to 1.2 to get fxscintilla to even build so that I could even try to test fxruby - but that isn't fxruby's fault. However, it might be best to leave this bug as is until 88924 is resolved and we can retest.
