Sixth report on building garnome-2.9.91.1: hacker tools

["Joseph E. Sacco, Ph.D." <joseph_sacco comcast net>]

Some of the hacker tools are i386 specific. Others require valgrind,
which has no complete, working implementation for PPC.

* alleyoop
- requires valgrind
- requires a patch that was mentioned in the list by Jeremiah McElroy
	https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1118631&group_id=79027&atid=555229

* glade
Does not compile. Complains about a missing include file from
libgnome-db.  This bug has been reported as bug #167255

* gst-editor
- URL & versions are wrong
  Use:

	GARVERSION = 0.8.0
	MASTER_SITES = http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/src/gst-editor/

* memprof

memprof will not build on a PPC for two reasons:

- segments of code that are i386 specific
- coding error from changes in libbfd make since 2002.

Here is a patch:

                                /* (*func) (addr, bfd_section_size

user_data);
+                               (*func) (addr, section->_cooked_size,
user_data);
                        }
                }
 }


I have taken a first pass at replacing the i386 specific code with
something that will run on a PPC. I have made some progress.
