hi...

so apparently with the 2.5 kernels if you pass -ansi, you don't get "long 
long" defined. to quote from a recent bug report:

"
 It seems that this happens because of the following code (taken from 
asm/types.h): 
 ----------------------------------------------------- 
 #if defined(__GNUC__) && !defined(__STRICT_ANSI__) 
 typedef __signed__ long long __s64; 
 typedef unsigned long long __u64; 
 #endif 
 ----------------------------------------------------- 
 "

it seems that -ansi is a default flag set by configure... should this be taken 
into consideration by the build system? 

it currently prevents kdemultimedia, for example, from compiling without 
defining long long yourself or changing makefiles.
