PPC build problems: undefined symbols in libkio

[John Firebaugh]

I run KDE CVS on debian ppc. Kopete dies whenever I try to view a user's info:

kopete: relocation error: /opt/kde-cvs-b/lib/libkio.so.4: undefined symbol: 
__cmpdi2

ldd -r /opt/kde-cvs/lib/libkio.so gives:

undefined symbol: __floatdidf   (/opt/kde-cvs-b/lib/libkio.so)
undefined symbol: __floatdisf   (/opt/kde-cvs-b/lib/libkio.so)
undefined symbol: __cmpdi2      (/opt/kde-cvs-b/lib/libkio.so)

Google tells me that this was once a problem for debian ppc packages:

http://groups.google.com/groups?q=libtool+__cmpdi2&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&selm=handler.103970.D103970.100484915010417.ackdone%40bugs.debian.org&rnum=2

Apparently it is caused by a bug in libtool regarding libgcc:

No indication if this has been fixed in libtool and the fix has not made it to 
our copy of libtool in admin/ or what. Anybody know?
