Bah. There have been too many toolchain changes over the last three years. You can do this, but it'll be a real pain. At the very least you need to use g++ 4.2 and pass --disable-werror. Then, there's the fact that the very first revision that "bisect" picks requires a version of cwidget that no longer exists in Debian... Probably no point in trying to post this to my blog -- hardly anyone would be able to follow the instructions that I'd have to give. Anyway, obviously I would be happy if you could hunt this down, but it's beyond the scope of what I usually ask bug reporters to try, so I'll understand if you don't pursue this approach.
