And as if by magic:

Cool. In that case, please can this be backported to the 3.0 branch? And
I think we also need to backport the gcc-4.3 fixes since Debian and SUSE
are now using gcc-4.3 by default (see
http://postgis.refractions.net/pipermail/postgis-devel/2008-October/003939.html for the SUSE confirmation, and my local machine as of 2 hours ago is the Debian Lenny confirmation).


ATB,

Mark.
