It's not a bug in fltk1.1 itself that's blocking ia32-libs, rather it's
an issue with the source file in the package archive being a different
version than the binary we ship.  ia32-libs build script doesn't like it
when the archive has a newer source package than the available binary,
since they then become out of sync.
