Ok, I am not an expert about compilation issues.
I have the tried to do a 'gcc -Wdeclaration-after-statement test.c' on
both pc's; the result
is that on the gentoo one, with gcc 3.3.4, the compilation works, on
the debian one, with gcc 3.3.5, the compilation immediately stops with
the error 'cc1: error: unrecognized option
`-Wdeclaration-after-statement'.
So it really seems that gcc 3.3.5 doesn't support this flag, I
apologize for having doubted.
As a workaround, could I try to comment out that line in the Makefile?

Bye.
