Description of problem:
I have gcc-3.4.2-6.fc3 and downloaded the Fedora Core 3 dhcp sources
from
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/3/SRPMS/dhcp-3.0.1-11.src.rpm

Now I do 
   rpmbuild --rebuild dhcp-3.0.1-11.src.rpm
I get a lot of messages regarding the build process (all fine) until I
get:

Making all in common
make[2]: Entering directory
`/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/dhcp-3.0.1/work.linux-2.2/common'

After searching the internet for what might cause this I found this:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18282
The strange thing is that according to this bug report it should not
occur in gcc 3.4.2 (which I have), then again I don't know what
patches have been included in the FC3 specific release of gcc-3.4.2. 




Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gcc-3.4.2-6.fc3 

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
As described above.

Actual Results:  error: mode `byte' applied to inappropriate type

Expected Results:  No errors.

Additional info:

I also downloaded the vanilla 
ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/dhcp/dhcp-3.0.1.tar.gz and the error message is
the same when I try to compile that.
