yes it's for the __thread stuff.  I'm using the debian-snapshot
packages; it's a pretty silly bug that also affects -MT "file file"
(that's easy though, you can just make the makefile use two -MT flags
with only one argument each), so it's probably worth fixing.  If I
give up I might try using alien with the RPM packages or something.

Ok I will do this.  This won't happen for a least a few days.  I have
sent my work personally to Jakub, if he chooses not to read it that's
fine but I would like his feedback.  Otherwise I guess I'll just get
back in my box :)
