	You don't need a patch for now.  Rather, just force POV-Ray to
build and link with the libraries provided in the source archive, using
the  --disable-lib-checks  configure option.  Those libs are the versions
that were used along the POV-Ray development.

	Anyway, thanks for the report.  If possible, POV should not use any
function that is supposed to be internal to the library (if those were
really "private", POV could not use them anyway: somehow the lib itself
was not cleanly designed).
