SVGAlib fails to build on gcc 3.3.1.

To correct, you can download and install a patch: ​http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/svgalib/svgalib_1.4.3-13.diff.gz

It will then compile on GCC 3.3.1

I have however not been able to successfully run the demo programs after this patch, (although they would compile). This might be because I'm running them from withing KDE -> konqueror (?)

Blowing away the package, re-extracting, and trying make prefix=/usr install again gives the same errors.
