- Casper Dik says this is a bug in the sys/timeb.h system header. He says
- the fix is to remove the #pragma pack directive that is in there.

- I've been told to run fixincludes. Well I know it does run because my
- /usr/local/include directory is filled with files that are usually found
- in /usr/include ... but somehow it didnt fix sys/timeb.h :(
-
- gcc when compiling itself doesnt put any -I/usr/local/include directives
- in its compilations. This is for gcc or cvs,etc.
