Julien, Kurt,

libgsm1 does have an extern "C" declaration:

/usr/include/gsm.h
[...]
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif

I'm not sure why this is occurring...

Twinkle version 1:0.9-3 built fine on AMD64, 1:0.9-4 built fine all all arch 
except AMD64.

There was no source change in the package between -3 & -4 and there has been 
no change to the libgsm package since 2004.

Can you assist with the debug of this issue as clearly something isn't quite 
right, but I'm not entirely sure it is in twinkle/ libgsm.

On i386 I did see a transitory issue with the build failing at this point, but 
it all appears fine as I can see it.

There are a lot of programmes with rdepends on libgsm1 and I don't think we 
have seen this issue with them?

Can we reschedule a build on amd64?

Mark
