This looks like a pain to fix. Upstream hasn't had a release since 2003, maybe we can just drop this package?
Following your advice it was already masked for removal. # Alfredo Tupone <tupone@gentoo.org> (23 May 2006) # No fix found for gcc-4.1, and upstream dead. Bug #132540 # Masked for removal games-mud/kmc
