Bugzilla Bug 178134

Hi 
I'm totally new to gentoo and this is my very first bug report. 
This compile bug doesn't depend on the platform, because I remember that I had
to fix this bug in February for my homebrewed Fedora32/OpenSuse64-RPMs.

Here the quick and dirty fix:

welcome to gentoo ;)

thanks for the report.  i've applied your patch to steghide-0.5.1.  it should
hit the mirrors in about an hour.
