Gears build for x86_64, compatible with Firefox 3.5, and patch for building with gcc 4.3.3 on Ubuntu

[Geza Kovacs]

I've gotten gears working with Firefox 3.5 (shiretoko) on x86_64
Ubuntu 9.04 (jaunty) using the latest svn revision (3373). I've posted
an xpi at http://gkovacs.xvm.mit.edu/google-gears-firefox-3.5-x86_64/gears-linux-x86_64-0.5.25.0.xpi

It was built from http://gears.googlecode.com/svn/trunk revision 3373

If you'd like to build it yourself, use the following commands:

svn co http://gears.googlecode.com/svn/trunk -r3373
cd trunk
wget http://gkovacs.xvm.mit.edu/google-gears-firefox-3.5-x86_64/gears-gcc433.diff
patch -p0 -i gears-gcc433.diff
make

Here is the patch, if you'd prefer to download see
