These are caused by ""-std=iso9899:1990"" being used during ./configure, the conftest programs fail because many linux kernel headers are not ANSI compliant. We can fix this by passing ""--disable-warnings"" to ./configure so that ""-std=iso9899:1990"" does not get used. This affects many packages, almost all the KDE packages, and I think MPlayer too, and others. This also affects all recent kernels (back to 2.4)."	defect	closed	normal	6.3	BOOK	SVN	medium	wontfix
