Please look in the /usr/doc/glibc-2.1/FAQ file, the whole stderr issue is
explained there. Basically you can not use stderr anymore as a constant,
so code like:

FILE *foo = stderr;
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{ ... }

needs to be replaced with something like:

FILE *foo;
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    foo = stderr;
    ...
}


Look in the FAQ file for other triucks that can be done. Somebody
mentioned that "stderr in in the standard". I don;t know what standard,
but there is no C spec that required stderr to be defined as a constant.
Now instead of a constant is a real variable.

I hope this helps,

Cristian
