Hi There,

Running latest head with libc-only *context function. mtasker test 
program works, but powerdns-recursor still doesnt compile (even with gcc 
3.4.6)

/usr/include/machine/endian.h:70:1: warning: this is the location of the 
previous definition
pdns_recursor.cc: In function `void startDoResolve(void*)':
pdns_recursor.cc:563: error: invalid conversion from `void*' to `char*'
pdns_recursor.cc:564: error: invalid conversion from `void*' to `char*'
pdns_recursor.cc:1139: confused by earlier errors, bailing out

[wrapper.sh] note: The real command line, after the pkgsrc wrapper, was:
/usr/obj/pkgsrc/wip/powerdns-recursor/work/.gcc/bin/g++ -O -pipe 
-I/usr/obj/pkgsrc/wip/powerdns-recursor/work/.buildlink/include -Wall 
-O3 -c -o pdns_recursor.o pdns_recursor.cc 
-L/usr/obj/pkgsrc/wip/powerdns-recursor/work/.buildlink/lib
gmake: *** [pdns_recursor.o] Error 1
*** Error code 2

Stop.
bmake: stopped in /usr/pkgsrc/wip/powerdns-recursor
*** Error code 1

Stop.
bmake: stopped in /usr/pkgsrc/wip/powerdns-recursor
