+When compiling on LSB-32bit, ran in to a compilation error because it could
+  not find 'linux/magic.h'.  This appears to be linked to the fact that
+  LSB is using quite an old version of the kernal headers (2.4?).  Newer
+  version of GLIB have a fix for this.  At this stage we're not planning
+  on jumping to such a newer version (in case it break other things, such
+  as cross-compiling for Android).  So we have taken the autoconf fix for
+  this, and added it in to this version of the source code.  Changed
+  'configure.ac' and 'glib/gfileutils.c'
