I've been pulling updates from the svn repo and testing with building
the package, and i've run across a build issue,

i've been trying out in building the package in sarge with some packages
installed from unstable, and it happyily fails to build due to a gcc error

  multiple definition of `__i686.get_pc_thunk.bx'

sarge's gcc 3.3 version is 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-13), upon upgrading to
gcc-3.3 in unstable/testing  3.3.6 (Debian 1:3.3.6-13), things happily
build again.

its probably not a bad idea to just stick in a >= 3.3.6-13 than version in
the control file for gcc, at least it will stop people from trying to build a
backport only to have it fail on the wrong compiler version.

Jimmy.
