dovecot - Oct 2012 - BUG to compile dovecot 2.1.10 on Debian 4.0, using gcc 4.1.2

Hello,

Today I needed to compile dovecot 2.1.10 on Debian 4.0, using gcc 4.1.2.
When running 'make' getting the following error:
-------------------------------------------------- --------
db-checkpassword.c: In function 'sigchld_handler':
db-checkpassword.c: 426: error: assignment of read-only member '__in'
db-checkpassword.c: 429: error: assignment of read-only member '__in'
db-checkpassword.c: 431: error: assignment of read-only member '__in'
db-checkpassword.c: 432: error: assignment of read-only member '__in'
make [3]: ** [db-checkpassword.o] Error 1
make [3]: ** Waiting for other processes to finish.
mv-f .deps / auth-worker-server.Tpo .deps / auth-worker-server.Po
make [3]: Leaving directory `/ usr/src/dovecot/dovecot-2.1.7/src/auth '
make [2]: ** [all-recursive] Error 1
make [2]: Leaving directory `/ usr/src/dovecot/dovecot-2.1.7/src '
make [1]: ** [all-recursive] Error 1
make [1]: Leaving directory `/ usr/src/dovecot/dovecot-2.1.7 '
make: ** [all] Error 2
-------------------------------------------------- --------

-To work did the following:
-------------------------------------------------- --------
417a418
+ Int stat = status-> status;
426c427
- If (WIFSIGNALED (status-> status)) {
---
+ If (WIFSIGNALED (stat)) {
429c430
- Dec2str (status-> pid), WTERMSIG (status-> status));
---
+ Dec2str (status-> pid), WTERMSIG (stat));
431.432 c432, 433
-} Else if (WIFEXITED (status-> status)) {
- Request-> exit_status WEXITSTATUS = (status-> status);
---
+} Else if (WIFEXITED (stat)) {
+ Request-> exit_status WEXITSTATUS = (stat);
-------------------------------------------------- --------

With this change worked perfectly ntanto in debian 4 with gcc 4.1.2, as in
debian 6 with gcc 4.4.5.
-I wonder if I made the change may affect any function of dovecot, or if it is
correct.

Thank you for your attention.

It looks like this might be a bug in glibc 2.3.3
