Ok, so i need disclose more info :-)

I already compiled full mapguide on purpose to create an RPM ( Mandriva in my 
case ). I had the problem on the old gd, ( several crashes ) but now the 
current version that i'm using with patches are ok. Is there something really 
special inside mapguide gd that i miss ?
I'm using just SWIGEx internal.
As external deps, i'm using:
db-4.3.29, dbxml-2.2.13, ace-5.5.2, gd-2.0.34, xalan-c-1.10, xerces-c-2.7.0, 
php-5.2.2.
I created packages for fdo and libdwf as well.
My nightmare was just libdwf, when compiling against x86_64. Mapguide itself 
have some c++ issues with types during compilation, like have places where 
function in defined as long long int in header, but implementation is using 
FdoInt64, which compiles fine on i586, but breakes compilation in gcc x86_64.

Due my background as kde devel, i really hate from the deep of my heart 
auto*tools, then i keep all mapguide source in sync, but recreated entire 
mapguide buildsystem using CMake for the rpm purpose
Is completly working, and i would love to share if have someone interested. 
CMake is "really" multiplatform, easy to manage, full textfile without stange 
macros, and thanks God, reduce the size of tests tools and maintenance 
burden. My current buildsystem is *nix only, but with a little work, can be 
added to build on Mac and Windows as well, with one only buildsystem.
JFYI, even i needed to resync every new mapguide release, i prefer 10 times 
work this way than using auto*tools again.

Hope i get things more clear.
