OK, that's it. I can get the compile error with 6pre1 as well.

Hack the source:

include/mdbtools.h, line 150, remove these lines:

/* hash to store registered backends */
extern GHashTable     *mdb_backends;

There's no need to declare mdb_backends as global variable any longer, and 
in fact it isn't one.

In 0.5 there was a reference to mdb_backends from mem.c, but it's 
implementation now seems to have moved to backend.c, which is fine.


I'm just wondering why nobody else had this problem before?
I'm not a real mdbtools developer, just tracking this list. Is there a way 
to report this problem?
Won't actually dare to mess in the sources...
