That means, you're trying to write a program using libkpathsea and it
doesn't build? Is ^1 a possible minimal example?
I guess it does, when using gcc-3.2 cause in another case we'd have
already grave bugs from teTeX-related packages.. Having a short look
at teTeX-beta I noticed that the bug is still there. So whom should I
blame? Karl Berry? Is that behaviour reproducible?
