Bug#979609: swt4-gtk segfaults on ppc64el

[Frédéric Bonnard]

Hi there,

I tried to bisect between 4.17.0 and 4.18.0 (4.19.0
didn't work either) and found the first offending commit
64ceb09e3297259b58a78b5d6486b1724070a4c9 that makes tracecompass fail
and playing with -DNO_gtk_1check_1button_1set_1inconsistent makes it
work. Soon after f2006cbb02568177a6bfaf074f4e787b3dafdc75 : same kind of
changes and same kind of trick seemed to help.
All those implying GTK port changes and JNI. Also I saw tons of cc
warnings of implicit casts in os.c which is generated by JNIGenerator ..

All in all, I tried with latest git tree as it has other GTK/JNI
improvements and as of v4944r22, it built cleanly and worked well with
tracecompass, syndie and steganosuite.

Maybe not the best answer, but I think it can help going forward.

F.
