The problem with compiling eSpeak on amd64/ia64 was trivial.  I don't
have a 64_bit system to test it here, but if anyone wants to try, the
fixed code is in version 1.18.03 at:
  http://espeak.sourceforge.net/test/latest.html

There have been problems with eSpeak on PPC.  There seems to be just
one bug remaining, which I have been investigating with Luke Yelavich
on his PPC system.  Hopefully that should be fixed by tomorrow at which
time I will release eSpeak version 1.19 which should be suitable for
Ububtu main.
