Hi, All,

I'm trying to build wireshark 1.4.4 on ppc64 platform against SLES10 ( linux 2.6.16, autoconf 2.59, libgcc 4.1.2) but met the following problem:

 The same package can build successfully on other platforms, and can build successfully on all platforms (including ppc64) against SLES11 (Linux 2.6.32, libgcc43-4.3.4, autoconf 2.63).

I found the same bug in bugzilla:
https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4346

Is there any fix to that? or any other workaround?

Thanks,
Chunyan
