The easy fix is to comment out that one line (that typedef) - thats what
Mike and I have done. However, I run into problems later on in the make
process (in utils/) that the userfs_types.h is (a) missing some
typedefs (like 'typedef __kernel_suseconds_t suseconds_t;' from linux/types.h)
and I'm not sure why, and also it has some wierdness with errnos.h's
#define errno (*__errno_location((void)));
or something like that (i messed with it for f'ing ever last night (this
morning??) and learned more about cccp than i wanted to know, but still
havn't figured out exactly why its redefining errno to a function pointer)
anyways - if this helps, or if you can answer - i'm out of town for the
weekend, so i'll pick up on monday.
