Yeah. Which makes me remember what it was. There was a problem with a
program wanting to use a C++ libraries in a C program or such. I didn't
knew if that was a gcc issue (we used 3.x earlier than other Debian ports),
or a genuine X bug, but I found it also being reported for another
architecture on the X mailing list, so I just stopped bothering about it and
disabled that extension.
Just build it. If the bug is still there, you will find out :)
Thanks,
Marcus
