This has been fixed in cvs a couple of days after the release, IIRC.
I have a question, though: isn't NGPT supposed to be also binary
compatible with linuxthreads? Did you get some errors linking
in libgc?

Yes, I think this same issue may cause some of the build errors 
on OpenBSD that someone reported a while ago.

I think adding a:

extern char **environ;

in the file should fix the problem and should be portable to some odd
systems, too.

Thanks for testing and the feedback!
