Rakia 0.7.4 had a linking bug on newer ld which would have been caught by the warnings machinery from telepathy-glib. The more I looked at it, the more annoyances I found in configure.ac, so here's a branch for review (see URL field).
The changes look good, thanks for your work.
Thanks, fixed in git for 0.7.5.
