I don't get it. First you say it's FC4:

Then you describe compiling and linking against non-system versions rather 
than the FC4 system libraries:

If you are compiling and linking against non-FC4 (or non-default) versions, in 
what sense do you mean it compiles on FC4 - would it compile on a "base" FC4 
with only the development libraries for the default library versions? (This 
is the FC3 system I use to test builds - completely unchanged from the 
default install except for -dev versions of the existing libraries.) {It 
can't actually be changed, it's only got 100Mb of spare disc space!!!}

I need to be able to build G2 against a pure Debian environment because that 
is what I need for my other code like QOF, pilot-qof and cashutil.

(This is why I resisted Derek's suggestion of compiling gwrap from source when 
I had all those problems with disable-error-on-warning.)

The only non-Debian unstable software on my system should be the software that 
I am developing or packaging and which will eventually become Debian 
software, linked against the rest of the default libraries. *Old* versions of 
libraries already dropped from Debian simply aren't acceptable.
