I have tested with GCC-3.4.5 and it works there, but with gcc-4.0.2-r3 it fails and has a _crazy_ amount of warnings. This failure appears to be due to an invalid lvalue in assignment: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../.. -I../../../src/include -I/usr/include/freetype2 -pipe -O2 -march=k8
