acpid does not compile with latest version of gcc

See title. It can be fixed by adding "-D_GNU_SOURCE" to the CFLAGS in the MAKEFILE. I used diff and patch to patch the makefile automatically, but berhaps someone knows a better way to do this. If you're lazy and think this is the right way, my patchfile looks like this:

24c24
< CFLAGS = -Wall -Werror -g $(DEFS)
---
> CFLAGS = -D_GNU_SOURCE -Wall -Werror -g $(DEFS)

My build-section in the PKGBUILD looks like this:

  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
  patch Makefile < ../gcc-4.3-patch.diff
  /usr/bin/make || return 1

...and so on (it't the one from ABS).

Please submit a bug report if it hasn't been done already.

I reported the bug upstream. Should i still file a bug report for the Makefile or do you just wait for the new version to come out, as there is a precompiled and working version available?

Yes. That way the maintainer for that package will be aware of this problem and of the needed fix.
