I just got libc and libc6-dev 2.1.96-1.  Same problem.  Also, I am
about 98% woody (unlike last time).  I also know that my friend runs
debian woody and *is* able to compile xmms, for example.  I've tried
both the cvs version and the source deb.  My friend had the cvs.

A parse error seems like it should be an easy fix...too bad I'm
incompetent.  But why is this happening at all?  Obviously it is just
me or at least not most people (searching the mail archives turns up
nothing).
