Yes, and errno is declared in errno.h which is included in some header
files so the complaint from the compiler is that errno is redefined
and that basically should not need to be declared again in
rssyl_add_item.c.

But from man errno:

"errno is defined by the ISO C standard to be a modifiable lvalue of
type int, and must not be explicitly declared; errno may be a macro.
errno is thread-local; setting  it  in  one thread does not affect its
value in any other thread."

and gint is declared in glib.h:
"typedef int    gint;"

So maybe FreeBSD is more sensitive than Linux?
