I can confirm that the patch solves my compile problem with gcc 3.4.3-20050110 and mpack.

What is holding this patch to flow into portage? Can I somehow help to get this patch faster into portage? Let me know.

I'll take care of this tonight. Sorry it took so long, this is actually the first time I noticed this bug - somehow it slipped under my radar.

@Andrej: No problem. We all are humans. ;)

If I can help somehow, just let me know.

cheers
