When compiling the GRUB I checked out from CVS today, I get
errors about MAJOR not being defined in asmstub.c:

This happens on i386-pc-linux-gnu, Debian libc6-dev_2.1.3-2,
Linux 2.2.14 (according to /usr/include/linux/version.h and
uname).
asmstub.c is revision 1.43; the last ChangeLog entry is:

By adding #include <linux/kdev_t.h>, the program compiles. But I
fear this isn't the right thing to do. The __dev_t shown by
glibc might be entirely different.
