[Icecast] Trouble compiling Icecast 2.3.1

[Robert Muchnick]

It is almost certain to be the old compiler. Try upgrading to around 
gcc-3.3.6. If that doesn't work, try dropping back to libxml-2.6.21 with 
the upgraded compiler. Icecast 2.3.1 compiles wihout problems with that 
lib and gcc on Slackware Linux with both 2.4.29 and 2.4.31 kernels.
