Friends, Romans, and countrymen, On Friday when I last had a chance to play with my SS10, I attempted to build xv as there wasn't a package in non-free to install. I have found that imake's inclusion of -traditional combined wiht the libc6-2.0.100 headers causes all manner of strange compilation errors (macro/#include recursions mainly). I took a good look at the headers concerned and couldn't see anything unusual about them other than that they use GCCisms that may not be available with -traditional. Other than hacking the sources for imake to not include -traditional (removing it from linux.cf had no effect, although I may have been doing things wrong), this is probably something that will need to be taken up with the glibc authors, whom I somehow doubt do regression testing against various weird combinations of command-line options, header-file-altering #defines, and such.
Unfortunately, I'm not in much of a position right now to attempt to examine it any further - work has taken me to New York and things aren't going smoothly (meaning I may be stuck here till next week, instead of flying out on Wednesday as was planned).
