Here's a trivial fix (I'm guessing that it'll fix the problem):

if (s->val[OPT_PREVIEW].w || s->val[OPT_RESOLUTION_BIND].w) {
- s->val[OPT_X_RESOLUTION] = *(SANE_Word *)val;
+ s->val[OPT_X_RESOLUTION].w = *(SANE_Word *)val;
if (info)
*info |= SANE_INFO_RELOAD_OPTIONS;
}
However, I think the real bug may be in egcs-1.03a. I thought ANSI C
allows such assignments to the first member of a union (or is this
supposed to be allowed for union initialization only?).
