It's intentional that FILE is an incomplete type. Do you know what
they're trying to do by trying to use it as if it were a complete
type? This is a bug that needs a patch, preferably one suitable for
upstream.

On further investigation, it looks like there's something weird that
boost is doing that's causing it to get expanded in a template that
uses FILE rather than FILE*. Not clear why but this is probably a bug
in boost. Maybe someone who understands C++ better could advise.
BTW, any idea what happened to your mail to the list? It seems to have
gotten lost.

Yeah, I also tried to have a look, but C++ and Boost are too unfamiliar
to me, and I had to give up.

My e-mails for some reason don't make it to the mailing list. I am
registered on the list as I'm receiving all the traffic, and I'm using
the same From: address as the one used for my mailing list
subscription. My previous e-mail to the list (about SSP on x86) also
didn't make it to the list.
Best regards,
Thomas

Should be fixed now.
