Bug#710313: yade: FTBFS on powerpc and sparc: gold not usable yet

[Anton Gladky]

Hi Aaron,

thanks for filing the bug. But I do not really know how to
deal with it. I have passed this configuration step on one of
powerpc-porter-machine without problem. Why does it not build
on buildd?

Thanks,

Anton
