	gcc-1.24 gave me segmentation faults, although it compiled ok. I'm
going to get a fresh distribution and rebuild, but I suspect that 1.24 has
problems. 1.23 definately had bugs, 1.24 was supposed to fix them all, but
may have missed on or two.

	1.22 is very stable, and you should use that if you can. 1.24 intrduces
sdb support which doesn't work, and a few others. I don't exepect another real
stable distribution till 1.26, given the current state of things.

BTW: the obstack.h problems are due cpp defining __STDC__. You can't undefine
it, but you can edit the #ifdef in obstack.h.
