Mandrake uses gcc 2.95.2, it uses much stricter ANSI C by default. You
can safely ignore these warnings.

Apache 1.3.12+SGI patches works perfectly with Midgard 1.4 (I'm
maintaining Russian Apache RPMs for Linux Mandrake Russian Edition and I'm
using the same SGI patches as Jean-Michael Dault from MandrakeSoft).

You can additionally install them, but true, "Development"
installation much better.

Actually, Linux Mandrake 7.1 was a fault. You could use either 7.0 (it
is much more better) or Mandrake RE 7.0 + Appendix which is more fresh
then original Mandrake 7.1 and it works solidly with Midgard.
You can get it from
ftp://ftp.iplabs.ru/linux/mandrake/7.0RE/
Don't hesitate about RE = Russian Edition, it has normal English
installation mode but also includes numerous patches against original
Mandrake version.
