Jonas: This is undoubtedly my fault, for not checking the other binaries.
I've been under the weather recently, and i've only been checking the gift-extract-features binary. I'll try to get a fix in sometime this evening.. Yes, normally C screams and yells at you, but the gift was written without function prototypes, so the compiler cant tell, until link time. I'll also whip up a quick patch adding function prototypes, and post it to the mailing list, for review.
