You are correct in what it is doing, but the real question is why.  This is
not a GTK problem  at all, and stems from the actual build side of helix.
Generally this type of issues if corrected via libtoolize, Makefile edits,
or in worst cases script and code changes.  I have not tried a helix build
yet in either 32bit or 64bit, but that would be the first place to look.  I
will give helix a run later and see what I find as well.
