Looks good...

Hmm, If you could get the actual error from the compile on your system 
that would be helpful.  I just removed the -m486 altogether (that's an
optimization flag, that's irrelevant for ia64) tried it below and while 
there were some warnings the the plugin still seems to work (you can get

rid of the exit warning by adding #include <unistd.h> to the top of 
version.c, but it doesn't change the functionality any [in this case]).
