abs -> llabs patch

This patch replaces std::abs with llabs which fixes the problem for me, but I'm
not sure it's the best fix.

Comments?

let's see what upstream thinks ;)

Hola, the 'abs' has been removed in CVS, so my advice is to wait for the new
release (Which shouldn't take too long :) )

btw, usage of llabs is (afaik) harmless and correct :)

Cool.  Simon, do you mind if we include this patch for both versions currently
in portage then?  I think Pylon mentioned that we're building it for the
release media for 2006.1.

i fixed it for 0.2.5. I didn't backport the patch because only ppc uses these
ricer-like gcc and glibc versions, and you could just as easily mark 0.2.5
stable :)

Nah, all of you other arches are just behind the times. :)

I've marked 0.2.5 ppc stable, so I'm closing the bug.  Thanks!
