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."	defect	closed	high		BOOK	~CVS	high	fixed
