Package: dnprogs
Version: 2.43
Severit: important

Current dnprogs fails to build on arm/armel due to usage of '$'
character as identifier in C source code. These appear to come
from rabdef.h.

See: http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?pkg=dnprogs&arch=arm

Fixing is really trivial, just use some other allowed character than "$"
as identifier.

ISO C defines identifiers as [a-zA-Z0-9_], and supporting other characters
is implementation specific. In other words, using them is not portable.
GCC in general allows $, but Arm EABI reserves $ for internal ABI
symbols.

"rm -rf" only sounds scary if you don't have backups
