Work around a build failure when using buggy <sys/capability.h>.
Alternatively, configure with --disable-libcap.
+ Compilation would fail on systems using glibc-2.7..2.9 due to changes in
+ gnulib's wchar.h that tickled a bug in at least those versions of glibc's
+ own <wchar.h> header. Now, gnulib works around the bug in those older
+ glibc <wchar.h> headers.

* Noteworthy changes in release 8.3 (2010-01-07) [stable]
