merge 475858 479900 thanks Elfkickers currently FTBFS on sid systems due to the kernel no longer exporting asm/elf.h as a header, and so elfkickers needs specific dependancies to sort this out. I think I've found a good set of deps (patch attached) but here's some explanation why these various things might work (depending on whether you're on a lenny, etch or sid system):
libc6-dev: 2.7-13 is the current lenny/sid version, and that has asm/elf.h in it. Lower versions might also work (2.7-10 doesn't according to http://people.debian.org/~lucas/logs/2008/05/06/elfkickers_2.0a-3_sid32-gcc43.buildlog.gz), but I haven't checked. linux-libc-dev (or linux-kernel-headers, which by lenny becomes a virtual package supplied by linux-libc-dev): 2.6.24 appears to be the right timeframe for last kernel that exported the header based on http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=6cc931b9b5ec652c90b928f3ec2163f261552c91 being the commit that removes the asm/elf.h export, and http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=tag;h=0d733ddb2026683da26c1722847b99911c43ccb5 - the tag for 2.6.24 - being the last version tag before that. 2.6.25 is at http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=tag;h=20b8df8e5501bac243e64c0c8c52907735a0041b and is too late. Between these three, the right packages should get pulled in and everything *should* just work! Tom Parker
