Well, I just had another chance to look more carefully at the configure
script - looks like there's a rogue unescaped backtick in the deprecation
warning text block; I hope the attached patch will save others unfortunate
enough to still be running 2.95 from trauma in ./configure :)

5.0.23, versions of GCC earlier than 3.2, other than 2.95.3,
have been deprecated. This and future releases of Services 5.0
will still work, though some error messages will lose
