Ummm....ok first you are going to have to do some digging to find out what
you need for the header/include files you are missing OR if you have them
... check to see where the current tree (for the compile) is looking for
them. Can you send the output from a find / -name errno.h none of what
you have posted is *post* compilation and it looks like it couldn't create
the .o files to link in in order to continue. Compiling isn't always as
easy as "./configure, make, make install" ;-) or make make bzImage make
dep make modules etc etc, trouble shoot this first by figuring out where
the missing includes are or if you have them "usr/include/bits/errno.h:25:
linux/errno.h: No such file or directory" (you may have to look in the
Makefile(s) to see what the root dir is in order to find out "where" it
thinks linux/errno.h is or what linux actually is pointing to ... its
usually a sym link to the CURRENT kernel source .... ls -l should be
pretty easy to work from there =o)
