Package: cowdancer
Version: 0.39
Severity: minor

This is a kind of "anormal" bug report, but I just want to document my
findings for other users/backporters:

While recompiling cowdancer in an Etch chroot, the following build
failure happend:

gcc cowdancer-ilistcreate.c -o cowdancer-ilistcreate.o -c -Wall -O2 -g 
-fno-strict-aliasing -D LIBDIR="\"/usr/lib\""
In file included from cowdancer-ilistcreate.c:25:
ilist.h:6: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before 'dev_t'
make[1]: *** [cowdancer-ilistcreate.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/buildd/cowdancer-0.39~dvz+1'
make: *** [build-stamp] Error 2

I had to add an 

#include <linux/types.h> to cowdancer-ilistcreate.c befor the #include
for ilist.h to (hopefully) fix this problem.

I am by no means an expert in C, so I don't know if I just papered over
a bug or if this include is really needed.

Maybe this is a libc-2.3 <> libc-2.6 thing, I don't know.

On Sid this problem does _not_ exist, cowdancer_0.39 is buildable
without any problems.
