I'm still seeing both of these, for FMOD and for KDU, in viewer-development
rev 15768 (8b6c61efed4c), the latest revision at the moment.  I can get past
the FMOD step by explicitly specifying  -- -DFMOD:BOOL=FALSE on the
configure command line (suggested by Ima on #opensl), but KDU doesn't seem
to have an option that's so simple.  (I'd rather not edit the URL to
download gray-area files if I can help it.)
