What should I do here ?
Bug #144205 [1] should be of interest here. Basically you need to include
sys/types.h before linux/types.h.

Hi Bo,
thanks for your fast reply, but unfortunately it does not completely
solve it. Now I get this:

Something seems to be rotten in my system...
May be the linux kernel header files under /usr/linux and those of
linux-2.6.18 are incompatible ???
My includes are now:
#include linux/if.h
#include linux/ethtool.h
#include stdio.h
#include stdlib.h
#include string.h
#include errno.h
#include sys/types.h
#include linux/types.h
#include sys/socket.h
The program (a eth-link tester) is simply compiled with
make program
and I compile with gcc-4.1.1 (yse I did all the emerge system/world
thingies and beside of this everything works fine until
now). Compiling the kernel is as boring as ever ;O)
Keep hacking!
