A recent Ubuntu build contains the change > - Build with -O0 on armel; otherwise the wrapper fails to set up the connection to the viewer. Unfortunately, no bug was...

Both the old Xt-based and new XEmbed-based windowed modes involve creating viewer-side stubs for the plugin to attach itself to. At least for the XEmbed one, we should be able...

I believe --with-lib32 is no longer used anywhere. --with-lib64 is, but can probably be killed after figuring out where Solaris/BSD plug-in directories actually are. It's also used to determine LIBDIR...
