Bug#711107: gtk+3.0: FTBFS on ia64 and mips

I'm using Debian unstable on ia64.

I built the gtk+3.0 package twice; the test always fails as on the  
ia64 buildd:

/usr/bin/make  check-local

The test passes when I run it subsequently:

stephan@itanic:~/gtkplus2/gtk+3.0-3.8.2/debian/build/shared/tests/a11y$  
xvfb-run ./children
/scrolledwindow/child-count: OK
/child/add-remove/GtkScrolledWindow: OK
/child/add-remove/GtkBox: OK
/child/add-remove/GtkPaned: OK
/child/add-remove/GtkGrid: OK
/child/add-remove/GtkEventBox: OK
/child/add-remove/GtkWindow: OK
/child/add-remove/GtkAssistant: OK
/child/add-remove/GtkFrame: OK

/child/add-remove/GtkTable: OK
/child/add-remove/GtkTextView: OK
/child/add-remove/GtkTreeView: OK
/child/add-remove/GtkNotebook: OK
/child/add-remove/GtkEntry: OK



It works with fakeroot as well:

stephan@itanic:~/gtkplus2/gtk+3.0-3.8.2/debian/build/shared/tests/a11y$  
fakeroot xvfb-run ./children
/scrolledwindow/child-count: OK
/child/add-remove/GtkScrolledWindow: OK
/child/add-remove/GtkBox: OK
/child/add-remove/GtkPaned: OK
/child/add-remove/GtkGrid: OK
/child/add-remove/GtkEventBox: OK
/child/add-remove/GtkWindow: OK
/child/add-remove/GtkAssistant: OK
/child/add-remove/GtkFrame: OK
/child/add-remove/GtkExpander: OK
/child/add-remove/GtkTable: OK
/child/add-remove/GtkTextView: OK
/child/add-remove/GtkTreeView: OK
/child/add-remove/GtkNotebook: OK
/child/add-remove/GtkEntry: OK


I did it multiple times, the result was always the same.


Running the test with the local display isn't possible at the moment  
because I'm experiencing another bug:

stephan@itanic:~/gtkplus2/gtk+3.0-3.8.2/debian/build/shared/tests/a11y$  
./children

(/home/stephan/gtkplus2/gtk+3.0-3.8.2/debian/build/shared/tests/a11y/.libs/lt-children:4476): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk-widgets-backgrounds.css:140:19: Not using units is deprecated. Assuming  
'px'.
Trace/breakpoint trap


This is already known.

More investigation is needed...
