Yeah, sorry about that.  I thought all non-ia64-or-hppa-building
packages got bugs filed against them, but I guess this one slipped
through the cracks.

No, not flawed.

Not as such, however, the documentation in the package changelog is
accurate.  The problem is simply that all source files that call exit(3)
need to #include <stdlib.h> for the function prototype.

I think this a bit of sloppiness that old gcc's used to tolerate, but
current ones don't.

Sorry for the lack of warning.  I'd have done a binary-only NMU but
that's even more against the rules, and would have left you without a
fresh .diff.gz with the fix to work from.
