There's a sibling bug coming for yell; the same kind of error results for both
though.

The core issue: Gabble pulls in Yell and Wocky as submodules. They're compiled
as static libraries. However, now symbols from them are used in a shared
library containing the Gabble plugin API; this shared library doesn't link
correctly on most non-x86 architectures, such as x86_64, because not all code
in it is position-independent.
