SubjectKernel v2.0.x and others ./include/linux/stddef.h file.
Date
Hello.
I have a question about the stddef.h file in the
./include/linux directory of v2 kernel, linked to
/usr/include/stddef.h. Since v2.0.0, I have had to make the
following patch to the file or the kernel would not compile,
noting several problems with using wchar_t definitions in the
/usr/include/stdlib.h file. My most recent kernel with this
problem is v2.0.6, I am using libs v5.2.18 and gcc 2.7.2. The
problem has appeared during the make dep stage but once this
cleared and the build crashed during make zImage, making
./drivers/char/conmakehash.c, although the problem was noted
as being in /usr/include/stdlib.h.

Am I doing something wrong or is something just messed up??

This is the patch I use: diff -u stddef.h stddef.h.sav
--- stddef.h Wed Dec 1 07:44:15 1993
+++ stddef.h.sav Sun Jul 7 01:07:57 1996

This is the exact text of the error message I get.
In file included from drivers/char/conmakehash.c:18:

The version header for /usr/include/stdlib.h is:
/*

*/
It is listed as:
-rw-r--r-- 1 bin bin 15134 Wed Mar 29 19:35:10 1995 stdlib.h

Finally, stddef in /usr/include/linux is listed as:
-rw------- 1 root root 243 Wed Dec 1 07:44:15 1993 stddef.h
Please help me.
I am not currently subscribed to this list, as I am not a
kernel developer. I sent this message here because there
is no person specified as maintainer of kernel include
files in the MAINTAINERS file. Therefore, kindly cc responses
to my email address

That you very much
