This bug alone a BLOCKER and a MUSTFIX.

The problem behind this and the fact nobody has been able to come up with a
quick-fix are caused by this package suffering from fundamental design flaws.

The point is: You are trying to ship ETL as standalone devel-package.
The HAVE_ defines disqualifies it from such usages.

I haven't checked this particular case, but it's likely the a similar
mis-design. There have been several of similar cases around, with some of them
having been ironed out over time, and some of them not having been fixed.
