A week or so ago someone got compile problems on a Solaris system using
the gcc compiler.  The problem was caused by a user defined function
called "log" in the lprNG code and as the -Werror flag was set this
warning was then traeated as an error and the build therefore failed.

Dosing some googling I found out that this is a known issue by the GCC
bug tracking system, and that the name "log" is indeed a reserved word
not to be used by an application except when calling the library function
"log" as defined in <math.h>.


Following links may shed som more light on the matter.
