>Description:
/usr/include/runetype.h contains declarations for two global variables.
But it doesn't have the 'extern "C" { ... }' wrapper for C++; so if a
C++ file includes (something which includes...) runetype.h, those two
variable names will be mangled and produce 'Undefined symbol' errors
at link time.
>How-To-Repeat:
Add '#include <runetype.h>' to any simple C++ program and try to link it
>Fix:
Add standard C++ 'extern "C" { ... }' wrapper to runetype.h
