Recompiling is NOT the cure and people should not focus on it. If one needs to recompile anything after a commit, then commit breaks ABI which usually should be accompanied with a very good explanation of why it was necessary. David's commit does not appear to fall into that category and his changes are ABI compatible as far as userland is concerned. -- Alexander Kabaev
