Remember that many system files have changed over the past few weeks,
system header files included. If there's a discrepancy you shouldn't be
using an old shared library with newly compiled sources. Strictly speaking,
this constitutes a change in the library interface although this is not
easily visible (I was bitten earlier by the change in <sys/dirent.h> which
caused readdir(3) to not work).
