I have the source code for kernel 2.0.36 and 2.2.1 available on
this computer. I am using a glibc computer so I obtained the file
ax25-utils-2.1.42a-glibc.tar.gz and I ran the following experiment. I am
now using 2.0.36 and I compiled this package with the 2.0.36 kernel source
code and it compiled without a single problem.
Then I removed that directory tree and remade it. I changed the
kernel source to that of 2.2.1 and I compiled again. It stopped with an
error as shown below:

As you see there is a "parse error before '}' and I stared at that
for 10 minutes and can't see the error. But it IS a 2.2.1 kernel error in
the /linux/ax25.h file which looks fine to me at line 50 and several lines
before. I correct myself. It is an error in the source code.
Has anyone had this same problem?
Best wishes
