I did:

  quilt push
  quilt refresh

which changes the patch slightly (by stripping of dates) and added some
basic description to the patch (lintian in nitpicking mode (-I) will ask
for this and it can not harm.  Please make sure that I used your correct
e-mail address you want to use for this purpose.  I also added this one
to Uploaders.  It needs to be one ID of your GPG key.  Otherwise dch will
consider your changes as NMU (Non Maintainer Upload).

I also noticed that in my "debuild" attempt some files remained in the
build tree and thus I removed these via clean target in debian/rules.

When working on the clean target I noticed, that the file

   pro/obj/gtm_threadgbl_deftypes.h

vanished from the build directory somehow.  Please watch this issue.  The
rule is that after

   debuild
   make -f debian/rules clean

the build directory should look identical to the state before debuild.
Otherwise you will get "Does not build twice in a row" bugs filed
against your package.

At my side pdebuild (in a clean chroot) as well as debuild there are no
good news regarding a successful build:

Hope you can fix this build issue.

Kind regards
