Re: XEmacs or Gentoo error?

This error occurs when compiling dired.c. What I don't understand

why this error has not cropped up before in the compilation sequence.
The files alloc.c, console-stream.c, console.c and device.c all
#include sysdeps.h and are compiled before dired.c is. Yet g++ doesn't
complain until it gets to dired.c
Do those files declare `environ' themselves? Do they use it?
BTW, I'm using the g++ compiler merely to generate build errors,
as a
sort of QA effort. If I'm wasting everyone's time, please let me know
and I'll stop.
No, don't stop! I've been too lazy to build with g++ recently, but
that's what the --xemacs-compiler switch is there for, so that it's
easy to check the code for cleanliness across compilers. I don't
recall ever hearing it needed by a user because configure picked a
totally bogus compiler; this is a developer's tool.
If you use Adrian Aichner's build-report.el, you can easily format and
send a report on your builds to xemacs-buildreports(a)xemacs.org. If
get a failure that we should know about, send that report and cc:
xemacs-beta. Successes should just go to xemacs-buildreports. It
would be appreciated if you would glance at the warnings and if you
see any you are not pretty sure are known (eg, the etags "not a
prototype" warning is a WONTFIX upstream, we know that's coming), a
note at the top of the report would be appreciated.
