ok this is on hppa but it's the same for x86. lanius told me to assign this to you.

perhaps more apps breaks.

Same problem here, on x86.

Here's a proposed patch to fix the problem.

By the way, here's a shameless plug:  

Check out http://freshmeat.net/projects/vim4j
This is new fork of Vim4J with a Java AWT GUI that integrates with Vim's gui subsystem via JNI and the mail goal is integration with Eclipse (and other Java-based IDE's) as an editor plugin.

Workaround for absence of varargs.h and clash with built-in function log()

Workaround for absence of varargs.h and clash with built-in function log()
under gcc 3.

A very brief patch, and should work on any arch.

(From update of attachment 26690 [edit])
Have to rename this to work with epatch, whoops...

Ebuild to apply the gcc3 patch, and disable parallel makes.

Parallel make seems to break builds for glimpse-4.17.4, and the make will
simply fail silently, while emerge will fail with an error message.

fixed in 4.17.4

thanks for the patch
