The only 0.6.7 packages I found did not run the test suites, so they wouldn't
have seen this problem.  If anyone would like to give substantive direction on
fixing the problem, that would be appreciated.  I found only the following
regarding x86_64 related issues:

Sorry about the early push; I was in the middle of many other tasks that day and
forgot that this one should have percolated for a while.  For some reason, I
thought failed builds went to the list, but I see that I was mistaken.  (That
was why the package languished originally -- to allow time for comment.)  Since
the package does work on i386 and ppc, once I have help with the x86_64 problem,
I can add the patch and make a new release.  So in summary, does this plan suffice?:

1. File bug as noted above, attaching build.log and blocking this bug and
"FE-ExcludeArch-x64"
2. Note number in an additional comment in this bug, since this one is
referenced in %changelog in xmldiff package currently, per Ville's request earlier
3. Send email to f-extras-l requesting x86_64 assistance (e.g. Hans?),
referencing new bug
4. Fix problem, test and package new release
