Oops, I was referring to changes that came out after the 0.82
release.  Here is a small patch that should make things clear:

If you run into problems later, this might be necessary too.  You
don't need to apply this one unless it complains about __func__ or
inline being undefined:

It will work fine with gcc, and that's probably your best bet.
