Subject: svgalibg1 segfaults on mouse init

Hi,

I'm running potato and have svgalibg1 and svgalibg1-dev installed.

When I run an svga program, say for example sabre, it segfaults on the
mouse initialization, which has an fprintf in it.  I believe this
problem is an incompatibility with the new libc libraries and gcc 2.95.
A recompile fixed it, although gcc 2.95 had trouble with the
invalid __asm__ statements in svgalib.  (Sorry, I have no patch
for the __asm__ stuff, I used the C equivalents in my compile.)

Here is the backtrace info for the core dump I got:

[cdfrey: ~/games/sabre-0.2.4] gdb src/sabre core
