Try the current CVS version - it's harder to transparently export
variables, as opposed to functions, to plugins (and even if you do that
you probably couldn't use them in header field info tables, as their
addresses won't be link-time constants), so I gave the IrDA dissector
its own private copy of that table.

The latest changes seemed to fix it all.

After doing a "rebuild all", everything is compiling/linking fine again!
