Just a heads up, but for some reason the cflag -Wdeclaration-after-statement isn't recognized on debian 3.1. It must be a debian bug.
I had the same exiting errors as corvus, but it seems belmont's already figured out why, so no biggie. As I've only got asteroids to test vector games with at the moment, I can't confirm this for all vector games, but the startup screen doesn't clear before the game starts.
Thanks for all the work guys. It's pretty damn cool stuff.
