I realized that the cvs compiles fine with linux-2.4, but not the fbdev doesn't compile under 2.6.9rc1.
rc1 inserts a pointer to kernel memory into the middle of the fb_monspecs structure. So, either more of linux/fb.h needs to bracketed with #ifndef __KERNEL__, or rc1 breaks userland binary compatibility (among other things). In both cases, this is a kernel issue.
They will tell you it's not:
/usr/include/linux/list.h:700: warning: #warning "don't include kernel headers in userspace"
Irrelevant. The #include <linux/list.h> is only there in an attempt to resolve the type of the inserted kernel memory list pointer.
I don't know how to handle this properly, though.
Don't assume problems with test kernels need to be resolved here.
