With anything which uses a multiline input widget (gtktext)
gnp, gedit, gnomeicu ...

I don't think it's possible from configure.
Just do:
gcc allobjectfiles.o ... -o libfribidi.so --shared
(that should work, methinks)

Ouch, what for? I manually removed it and rewrote as
a simple Makefile. Is there a real need for a configure
script?

Try patching gtk 1.2.7, and then only include the gtkentry.o
by compiling it as a shared object:
gcc gtkentry.o -o libgtkentrybidi.so --shared

Should that work? Think so.
