gqview uses gdk-pixbuf-csource in its makefiles to generate headers, so 
the suggestions here won't help me at all.  But hold up -- why does 
gdk-pixbuf-csource even need to be arch dependent in the first place? 
It doesn't generate any arch specific source (and things would seem very 
broken if it did), so I'm not sure what the advantage of splitting that 
up is.
