>Description:
        NetBSD is missing implementatations of fmin(), fmax() (and fminf, fminl,
        fmaxf, fmaxl) from the c99 standard.  Increasingly software packages are
        assuming they are available.
        
>How-To-Repeat:
        Try to build kdeedu-4.3.1 or koffice-2.1beta3.
        
>Fix:
        Grab FreeBSD's implementation?
