Hello,
Pugins were (and I think are still) working on my DEBUG=1 builds at
home.
I assumed they were working on the non debug too. My apologies.

I can't be sure but I think you are right. However, unless the configure
on the plugins detects a different gcc than the diving make process, I
can't see how that could be the reason for plugins not working in th
release RPMS.
As soon as we find out what happened, I'll update the i386 rpms first
(that is, as soon as I get home, since I'm without my laptop *chuif*)
