Btw. i'm using the same compiler here (Debian Squeeze), and i did not have any
build problems with 2.6.24-rc3 and the following kernels like the currently
running 2.6.34-rc3-00288-gab195c5:

$ cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.34-rc3-00288-gab195c5 (har...@vwagwolkf320) (gcc version
4.4.3 20100108 (prerelease) (Debian 4.4.2-9) ) #70 SMP Tue Apr 6 19:14:52 CEST
2010

So i wonder why Nemeth trapped into this problem ... probably an include file
mix-up?

Regards,
Oliver
