Thanks again for testing the release candidate.

Most of the problems fall into the 'jasper isn't particularly portable'
camp. We strongly recommend that you compile that library separately
if you have trouble with the (still very new) support in the gs build
system.

Also, there's a bug with detection of the 64 bit stdint type detection.
That will be fixed for 8.50.

However, this one has me stumped:

The freebsd machine in sourceforge compile farm has libXt.* in /usr/X11R6/lib
just like every linux system. I've no idea what could have caused this. Can
you forward the config.log and obj/ldt.tr from this build?

Much appreciated,
