Bug#253958: (fwd) Re: (fwd) Bug#253958: Unable to build packages depending on this with gcc.

[Hilmar Preusse <hille42@web.de>]

Hi Daniel,

This is the answer I got from Olaf.
I'm not really sure, if it will help you as gcc seems to have been
undergone an incompatible change.
Including kpathsea/kpathsea.h should give you that mentioned
c-auto.h, but it will include kpathsea/c-vararg.h, which includes
varargs.h and will produce that message.
Would you be so kind to test it, although I have doubts, that it will
really help you?

Thanks and Regards,
  Hilmar

The kpathsea headers depend on having their autoconf-generated
config.h (which is _called_ c-auto.h) included as well.  Some may do
this themselved, others don't.

Adding #include <kpathsea/config.h> before including any other
kpathsea header might solve this.
