Hi,
The variable poll_num is a local in main() in vrb/src/bin/vbuf.c.
It is used once as an rc for the call ``poll( poll_list, 2, poll_time
);'' in main() and is never referenced again. Therefore removing
poll_num declaration and the assignment should be semantically safe.
Attaching a patch doing exactly that. After removal dpkg-buildpackage
succeeds on my i686 sid machine.
Cheers,
