Ok, I talked to the author and although he agrees that this should be 
done properly he currently has no idea how ("it compiles doesn't it?") 
and no time to look into it right now. So he suggested that if ignoring 
the error was an option we should do that for now.

At the same time I noticed that a new RPM for FC had appeared on his 
website so I installed it and it works fine!

I extracted the spec-file and yes, it ignores the error about the 
private symbols.

So what do you thin Axel?

I included the spec-file that I extracted from the RPM (it's pretty simple).

Cheers,
 -Tako

PS: Twinkle's author would be happy to see his work appear in ATrpms, 
but I wasn't able to reach the guy yet who built the RPM. Dunno if it is 
any problem to go ahead and use his spec file?
