I agree, and pretty clearly it wasn't.

Entirely reasonable.

pkgsrc has a slightly modified version, but it seems to be only
patches for various platforms that haven't been merged upstream for
various reasons.  I'm aware of no intent to behave oddly on purpose.

  On my main development system (Linux Ubuntu 6.10), I normally do a 'make

  remove all the old cruft.   Only then do I do the usual ./bootstrap,
  ./configure, etc.

I did make uninstall, clean, make and it built.  But I'd say it's a
bug if you have to uninstall first.



I can't trivially reproduce this first, but it seems to be mblock's
use of pmt that's troublesome.  This could be just the only user of
functions that changed signature, though.
