    Yes, I know. I tried to fix this in my backend but there are a lot of
    unmaintained backend I don't want to touch if it isn't absolutely
    neccessary.

    This shouldn't happen. Where does it fail? Could you send the output of make
    (or whatever fails)?

    Must be checked but mostly harmless.

    Harmless.

    Mostly harmless (and I don't know how to solve this without ugly
    workarounds)

    The rest has to be investigated but I think this will be done after 1.0.3.
    I put this on the todo list (gets pretty long :-)

    Bye,
