liblauncher fails to build from source in linaro

A new warning is triggered by the use of a variable named "read".

liblauncher-0.1 is a fork of liblauncher 0.1.x series, the latest liblauncher doesn't have this var.

The fix was merged in r37 of lp:liblauncher and was developed in r28.3.7:

One of this include changes isn't present in liblauncher-0.1 though

I can reproduce with Ubuntu maverick, without using the Linaro GCC version.

NB also shows up on http://udd.debian.org/cgi-bin/ubuntu_ftbfs.cgi with the smae issue

This bug was fixed in the package liblauncher-0.1 - 0.1.10-0ubuntu2

---------------
liblauncher-0.1 (0.1.10-0ubuntu2) maverick; urgency=low

  * Switch to source format 3.0 (quilt); build-dep on quilt; add empty series.
  * New patch, lp600207-rename-read-to-avoid-warning-causing-ftbfs, fixes
    FTBFS with stricter gcc caused by a var named "read"; LP: #600207.
