>Description:
The program tcpdchk cannot be linked statically due to the fact that the
variable rfc931_timeout is declared both in the libwrap library and in the
file scaffold.c in the sources for tcpdchk.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to build tcpdchk on an architechture without static libraries, e.g.
a VAX. Also, building the application statically on the i386 platform
produces the same results.
>Fix:
Since the initial value of the variable in the file scaffold.c is the same
as the one from the wrap library the variable in the scaffold.c file can
be removed.
