I just updated to 3.4.1, and there is still the same problem.  I was 
doing some checking, and I don't think it is an autoconf problem.  I'll 
share my thinking process and hopefully someone will see my error or 
help to narrow down the choices.  I had downloaded the kdemultimedia3 
src.rpm and rebuilt it to try to get kscd cdda to work, with no 
success.  I had built it (with a patch for KAudiocreator) on 9.2, which 
worked.  On 9.3, it doesn't.  Same src.rpm.  I just checked, and it 
appears autoconf and automake are basically the same version for both 
9.2 and 9.3.  The file with all the errors, little_endian.h, is part of 
glibc-devel.  That file is quite different in 9.2.  IIANM, all the 
failing parts of little_endian.h are not present in 9.2.  I do not know 
programming (actually more of a hardware guy), but I suspect a glibc 
problem/bug.  I also ran a 2.6.11.5 patched kernel.org kernel in 9.2, so 
kernel versions were very close from my 9.2 and 9.3.  I looked at what 
you wrote above Anders and tried to follow along but I got lost [but I 
do respect your programming and code reading skills].  I know I could 
add a cd audio cable, but that doesn't fix the problem, only works 
around the problem.  It is also a bothersome problem for my daughters' 
laptops I upgraded to 9.3.  They cannot add a cd audio cable, so I would 
like to help get the bug found and fixed. TIA for any help in tracking 
down the source of this bug.
