Problem compiling tinc-1.0.8 on gcc-2.95

[Unknown]

Well.. Im using VMware FreeBSD 4.11 image for network emulation.
Compiling GCC there would be quite overkill..
It was just faster to fix tinc.

Most of other platforms im using are gcc-3.x indeed.

I think its best to just put that patch in download section for now.
We dont know if there is a big need for support for gcc-2.95 in the
community. If yes, we can then think about aproach.

Also, If needed I can maintain branch of tinc for gcc-2.95
(As far as you use svn-1.4.x).

Regards,
Borg
