x86 (pentium4) too. It's obviously related to the building of the xchat in textual mode (xchattext USE flag). The problem is, afaik, that some functions needed by the lib (libxchatcommon.a) are inside fe-gtk.o (for example, fe-gtk/fe-gtk.c:fe_set_inputbox_contents (session *sess, char *text) ). We can insert in fe-text.c those calls with no function body, so that libxchatcommon won't find them unresolved. I'll attach a patch. Xchat's programmer shouldn't probably reference functions in the main executable while inside the lib... libraries should be independent from the executable they're linked against. But that's just mho, and not really pertinent :p.
