Odd compile error and quick fix (linux/1.6.15)

If while running 'make' you (like me) run into the following errors:

snprintf.c:722: parse error before "va_dcl"

make[2]: *** [snprintf.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/afazio/tmp/eggdrop1.6.15/src/compat'
make[1]: *** [compatability] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/afazio/tmp/eggdrop1.6.15/src'
make: *** [modegg] Error 2

[/color]

then, with a text editor, comment out the two compiler statements on lines 89 and 715 in src/compat/snprintf.c. This fixed the problem for me. Cheers.
