this patch.

This patch was supposed to put some order into a bunch of bug fix 
patches that went in without going through an official maintainer. I 
was afraid they're going to get lost, so I stuck the above into a 
patch. One of those patches fixed compilation problems on ia64 
architecture, but caused problems in a Red Hat release instead.
Since I didn't see a separate patch for that, I thought I'll put it 
here too. Didn't think it'll cause problems as it was a one-liner.
I'll learn eventually :).
