Hello,
I've explained on 2004-08-10 why the ugly solution should be chosen,
mainly because it is *tested* and because other files are contaminated
with cc=gcc-2.95, too.

I've renamed the patch.

All this has happened almost three weeks ago without further comment
yet[1] by Brendan, therefore I have decided to go for the NMU, time is
starting to become a pressing issue for sarge.
Dear release-managers: Are you interested in a autobuildable
perl-package for sarge? Do you want me to upload to tpu? The interdiff
is quite small (see URL) and the package builds successfully on i386
and ia64 (ia64 is one of the broken architectures.)
If I get a go I am confident to get a m68k build from Adam
Conrad before I upload the package.
