I've considered refusing to build with and SuSE and Red Hat
compilers. Will make for a nice surprise when SuSE update their package
next time with their patched-to-death compilers. The Red Hat goofup is
amply documented, but SuSE compilers are also b0rked, their 3.3.1-16
doesn't get recent 2.6 kernels compiled, ICE in nls_base.c - stock 3.3.1
is fine...

I wonder why distributors can't leave their greasy (as in "touched
potato chips") fingers off the building blocks of their distros.
