there's nothing in the spec files that requests particular formats or
extensions for the man pages. the file lists are auto-generated by
rpm/perl and therefore i suspect that's where the problems lies (with
rpm/perl on x86_64.) i'd be more than happy to track the problem down if
i had a x86_64 system (donations welcome, heh) on which to do it.

can you build Gtk2 on that system from source (not rpm) on that system?
are the freshrpm rpms my original rpms or someone else's pkg-ing?
