Config:

/usr/src/mysql-4.0.20# CFLAGS="-O3 -mpentiumpro" CXX=gcc CXXFLAGS="-O3 -mpentiumpro -felide-constructors -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql --enable-assembler --with-mysqld-ldflags=-all-static

Computer: standard p4

Opsys: Debian woody

gcc 2.95.4
make 3.79.1

Header file problem of some sort? Any ideas?

Thanks
