Attachments:	patch to x25_sr.c to appease GCC 3.3 new patch to x25_sr.c -- ebuild compatible patch for new ebuild; 1.60-r7 => r8

Description Boyd Waters 2003-07-28 17:00:30 UTC

GCC 3.3 is more strict (or at least different) with some compiler parsing. 
 
net-tools runs afoul of this in lib/x25_sr.c; where a sizeof(x25_address) is interpreted as 
taking the size of an (undefined) FUNCTION named "x25_address", rather that a STRUCT. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
emerge net-utils 
Actual Results:  
compile error at lib/x25_sr.c

patch to x25_sr.c to appease GCC 3.3

adds a "struct" keyword to the offending line of C code.

patch for new ebuild; 1.60-r7 => r8

This ebuild uses the patch to correct the compile error.

also etherwake has now it's own ebuild
should the own ebuild or install in net-tools be removed ?

etherwake and net-tools both build for me on gcc-3.x so this is a done deal in my eyes
