Hi Pei, A quick look at the patch shows: Description: Fixes a build failure when using -O3 compiler flag As to using newer versions then mentioned in the book, that is not recommended. First the patch probably won't work (or has already been applied up stream) and second the newer version has not been as thoroughly tested. Your best bet is to stick with the versions mentioned in the stable book.
