HMM, that's possible just circumventing a problem instead of really
solving it.  I have not idea about OPENGL on 64bit machines.  If this
is not supported in general your patch is right and you have to deal
with a restricted functionality in arb (I have no idea what profit you
might gain from OPENGL).

In case we observe that OPENGL is not really needed we should try
this for the moment.

Well, I'm not an OpenGL expert but the name of the missing symbols which
starts with "gl*" lets me assume that some problem is cased by leaving out
the opengl library in the linking process of the library.  It seems that
the OPENGL=0 definition is not properly handled in all places of the code.
If I were you I would check OPENGL ifdef's where arb_tree is builded.

I just keep the Debian bug #522021 in CC to inform potential helpers from
the Debian porting team.

Kind regards

        Andreas.
