Bug#314601: grep-dctrl: FTBFS (amd64/gcc-4.0): conflicting types for 'progname'

[Andreas Jochens]

Package: grep-dctrl
Version: 2.6.6
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

When building 'grep-dctrl' on amd64/unstable with gcc-4.0,
I get the following error:

gcc -std=gnu99  -O2 -g -Wall -DENABLE_L_DEBUG -D_GNU_SOURCE -DSYSCONF=\"/etc\" 
-DHAVE_GETTEXT -DPACKAGE=\"grep-dctrl\" -DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/share/locale\"  
-DVERSION=\"2.6.6\" -DMAINTAINER='"Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"' 
  -c -o msg.o msg.c
msg.c:46: error: conflicting types for 'progname'
msg.h:60: error: previous declaration of 'progname' was here
make[1]: *** [msg.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/grep-dctrl-2.6.6'
make: *** [debian/stamp/build] Error 2

With the attached patch 'grep-dctrl' can be compiled
on amd64 using gcc-4.0.
