Latest GIT version fails to compile on Linux - setjmp.h problem

[Nigel Horne]

Git version: f26e428da505709ec03b2ed2c9eb3db82b30bd7b
Gcc: 4.6.1
Host: Debinan/x86_64

Fails to compile at

In file included from /usr/include/png.h:518:0,
                 from ui/vnc-enc-tight.c:37:
/usr/include/pngconf.h: At top level:
/usr/include/pngconf.h:371:21: error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or ‘__attribute__’ before ‘.’ token
/usr/include/pngconf.h:372:12: error: unknown type name ‘__dont__’
/usr/include/pngconf.h:372:29: error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or ‘__attribute__’ before ‘it’
/usr/include/pngconf.h:372:29: error: unknown type name ‘it’

Looking at pngconf.h around line 370 gives the reason for the compilation failure:

# ifdef _SETJMP_H
       /* If you encounter a compiler error here, see the explanation
        * near the end of INSTALL.
        */
           __pngconf.h__ in libpng already includes setjmp.h;
           __dont__ include it again.;
# endif

Patch http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/103157/ is a possible solution for this problem.
