Inkscape failed to build on i386 and amd64 in a recent rebuild test of
Ubuntu packages with gcc 4.6.  The package version in question was
inkscape_0.48.0-1ubuntu2.  The buildlogs can be found at:

i386: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/62122074/buildlog_ubuntu-natty-i386.inkscape_0.48.0-1ubuntu2_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz
amd64: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/62133948/buildlog_ubuntu-natty-amd64.inkscape_0.48.0-1ubuntu2_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz

The error message is:

/usr/include/sigc++-2.0/sigc++/signal.h:38:11: error: 'ptrdiff_t' does
not name a type

I believe this can be fixed by including a #include <cstddef> in
connector-context.h (and wherever necessary).  Please see the following
page for more details: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GCC4.6
