Package: zeroc-ice
Severity: important
Justification: fails to build from source

For some reason, zeroc-ice defaults to building with -m32 on AMD64.
On Debian, this is inappropriate and generally doomed to failure,
particularly given that g++ -m32 is currently broken due to missing
headers (g++-4.0 bug #357062).

As such, could you please drop or disable the special x86_64 case in
config/Make.rules.Linux?  [Catering to it by setting LP64=yes
nominally works, but a lot of files end up installed into /usr/lib64
(also inappropriate on Debian) and thereby unpackaged.]

BTW, I also observed warning messages indicating that
src/icecpp/prefix.c needs to include <string.h> for icecpp to run
correctly on 64-bit systems; could you please fix that too?

Thanks!
