Trying to build detex with gcc 3.4.4 fails while gcc 3.3.6 works.

Created attachment 75231 [details] ebuild to solve the issue This ebuild should solve your issue. Please test it and report success/failure.
It works. Thank you.
This seems to have been fixed a while ago... closing.
I may be misunderstanding the way Gentoo handles bugs, but I don't think a bug report should be closed if a patch exists only in bugzilla. The ebuild attached by Alexandre Buisse works, but it never made it into portage.
Yes, I am still unsure this should go to portage or not, but forgot to tell Martin about that...
It seems proper enough. I would guess that gcc-3.3 also defines malloc, so no redefinition is needed.
Sorry for the confusion before. It is in cvs now.
