Thanks, Gary and Kevin. For now, I've taken Gary's suggestion and
modified the source as follows:

---
aspell-0.60.4/common/string_map.hpp.fixmissingmethod        2005-11-16
13:29:18.000000000 -0700

Until a proper fix has been committed, I'll use this for now. aspell at
least compiles on my system (FC4).
