I see you already applied a fix from Alan Brady on that branch. I think
his version is sufficient to avoid the build problems, but mine is better.
I've rebased my patch now to revert parts of his fix. Please decide for
yourself whether you want to apply it on top, or are happy enough with
the existing version.
