For what it's worth, I'm running fc3 / x86_64, and 2.12.1 failed for
me pretty quickly during linking; I googled up the errors, and after
some voodoo found that the following change made things work better:

  #LDFLAGS += -Wl,--export-dynamic -L$(libdir)
  LDFLAGS += -L$(libdir)

In addition, I setup the following ENV vars before invoking garnome:

  CFLAGS  = -march=athlon64 -msse2 -mfpmath=sse -fPIC
  LDFLAGS = -L$(PREFIX)/lib -L/lib64 -L/usr/lib64 -L/usr/local/lib64
-L/usr/X11R6/lib64 -lXtst

(the Xtst is for some bizarre linking problem I couldn't solve)

I had been tweaking the PKG_CONFIG_PATH to pick up /usr/lib64, but now
gar.conf.mk does it for me which is nice :)

I also have to perform the following tweaks:
 * disable GIMP_PRINT for gimp
 * upgrade fifth-toe/gnet to 2.0.7, so it can configure correctly on x86_64
 * post-configure hack for gkrellm, to use /usr/X11R6/lib64
 * skip all of mono

My biggest unsolved problem in this x86_64 build is that my native
64bit firefox won't pick up 32bit plugins, and so I can't listen to
BBC radio in my browser (I patiently await a 64bit safe version of
helixplayer) - which is to say, not a very big problem at all :)
