Thanks Richard - After a lot of head-scratching I gave up trying to work
out why I could build the latest Release but not CVS.  Now I know why,
it seems so obvious!

In the past hour I've found that the specific warning is -Wreturn-type
which is being enabled by -Wall .  By passing the environment var
CPPFLAGS="-Wno-return-type" to the configure script I've managed to get
it to build reliably (& without manual editing of the makefiles!)
