Package: apache2-threaded-dev Version: 2.0.52-3 The include file
usr/include/apache2/ap_config_auto.h has the symbol definition #define WORDS_BIGENDIAN 1 This is not always true. In the specific case of using the apache-threaded-dev package to fulfill the prerequisites for the Mono source package mod_mono, the invisible name clash with the same symbol coming out of the mod_mono configure check caused a subtle bug that resulted in quite a bit of frustration for pontential users of Mono ASP support, see http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/mono-list/2005-February/025613.html This kind of name clash is neither unlikely (autoconf feature checks probably get copied more than any other kind of code frament, causing exactly this kind of name clash) nor easy to detect (compilation will not be aborted). The development package is a binary package that is targeted to "all" platforms. It should not contain globally visible symbol definitions with platform specific semantics. I suggest removing configure generated include files from the development package. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
