patch fixes a compile problem with GCC-3.2.</para>

<para><userinput>make
CPPFLAGS=-DSYS_VIMRC_FILE=\\\"/etc/vimrc\\\":</userinput> Setting this will
cause vim to look for the <filename>/etc/vimrc</filename> file that
contains the global vim settings. Normally this file is looked for in
<filename class="directory">/usr/share/vim</filename>, but 
<filename class="directory">/etc</filename> is a more logical place for
this kind of file.</para>
