Hrm, well, no wonder.
#include <linux/config.h>
I had been telling it my linux source was in /home/aaronl/src/linux.
So that would have expanded to /home/aaronl/src/linux/linux, which is
nonexistant. It probably used whatever's in /usr/include/linux
instead.
Passing --with-linux-source=/home/aaronl/src worked. IMHO this is bad
design, because it asks for the dir _above_ the linux source tree and
expects the toplevel dir of the linux tree to be named "linux". I
think this argument should be passed the full path to the linux source
tree instead of the dir above that. The configure --help text is
ambiguous at best here/.
