gst-plugins build dies with syntax error in /usr/include/ctype.h using 2.6.0 kernel headers. I tried all the stuff in the forums and related resolved bugs, ie, manual build, -j1, etc. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. build gst-plugins-0.6.4 on system with 2.6.0 kernel headers and rebuilt glibc 2. watch it bomb 3. Actual Results: build failure Expected Results: successful build rama gst-plugins # emerge --info Portage 2.0.50 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.3.2, glibc-2.3.2-r9, 2.6.1) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.1 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2000+ Gentoo Base System version 1.4.3.12 distcc 2.11.1 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.58 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.7.7 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-mcpu=athlon-xp -Os -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-mcpu=athlon-xp -Os -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache cvs sandbox userpriv usersandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://trumpetti.atm.tut.fi/gentoo ftp://mirror.iawnet.sandia.gov/pub/gentoo http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.namerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow X aalib acl acpi alsa apm arts avi berkdb bonobo cdr crypt cups dga directfb dvd emacs encode esd evo fbcon foomaticdb freetype freetype2 gb gd gdbm gif gnome gpm gtk gtk2 gtkhtml imap imlib ipv6 java jpeg junit kde lame lcms ldap libg++ libwww mad mikmod mmx motif mozilla mpeg mysql ncurses ogg oggvorbis opengl oss pam pda pdflib perl plotutils png postgres python qt quicktime readline samba sasl sdl slang slp spell sse ssl tcltk tcpd tetex tiff truetype vorbis x86 xml xml2 xmms xv zeo zlib"
