  Maybe the commiter, jindrich iirc, could make a more precise
statement about what went wrong with lrintf and where.
  I guess it may have to do with gcc not inlining lrintf.
If that was the problem it may probably also be fixed locally
for the files the problems occurred ( with #defines maybe ).
I think we had such a problem already somewhere else.
  
  I must admit i am still a bit busy with exams, so please
don't mind a bit longer reply times...
