Thank you once again. You shouldn't have bothered, given that I already
have things working (and I need the uname hack to build other software).
But thanks a lot for going out of your way to help me :)

Yhc does indeed work on (fully) 64-bit platforms but apparently not on
32-bit distros running on 64-bit kernels.
We suspect the problem is that the architecture detects x86_64 (from
the kernel) and then builds for that. But then nothing links because
you don't have the 64bit development libraries. This is why your uname
hack works, it makes the build script think you're running an x86 kernel.
In the long run you're probably better off sticking with either both
64bit kernel and distro or both 32bit. I suspect you'll get a lot of
trouble trying to build almost anything with a 'mixed' system. It's
also worth remembering 64bit is still quite capable of running 32bit
applications in Ubuntu (I run 64-bit ubuntu).
Anyhow, I've asked Andrew to add an option to the build to force the
architecture. When that's done you should be able to repull the source
and try rebuilding with:
scons arch=x86
Hope that helps.
