[ pokes around ... ] Wow, I had forgotten exactly how frickin' ancient
7.2 is :-(. You might be able to make it go by adding #define _GNU_SOURCE 1
in src/include/port/linux.h, and adding -fno-strict-aliasing -fwrapv
to CFLAGS, but yeah, trying to build it on a modern Linux system looks
a bit shaky. If you do go this route, I'd recommend making sure it
passes its regression tests before you risk letting it touch your real
data.
