This has been fixed in 0.9.2.

          int gpg_strerror_r (unsigned int err, char *buf, size_t buflen)
            __attribute__ ((weak));

Does anyone know which version of gcc introduced the weak attribute?
A workaround is to replace it by the weak pragma as done in
assuan-io.c .

We need better detection for this. Need to check whether we have such
a detection at all.

Can you please add 

#include <sys/time.h>

above the sys/types.h?  All other incldue files for select are included
although I wonder why FD_foo might be defined in that include file.
