remove the include of compiler.h now i got this:

i patched the source with a debian diff (
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/b/brltty/brltty_3.7.2-4.diff.gz ) and
also removed the compiler.h include now it builds up fine, perhaps somebody can
have a look.

Fixes the compile issue

This patch fixes the compile issue.  Once this is applied, it compiles fine on
ppc.

Is this still an issue withversion 3.8?

I am closing this due to no response.  Please re-open if this is still an
issue.  Thanks much.
