Platform specific bug, and has nothing to do with networking.
This problem will occur with any user visible interface definition that uses __u64, and there are several both in and outside the networking.
x86 and perhaps others protect the __u64 definition with:
defined(__GNUC__) && !defined(__STRICT_ANSI__)
for whatever reason, probably to avoid "long long" or something like that. But even that theory makes no sense.
I do not make this protection on any of the sparc ports, even 32-bit sparc, for example, so I find it really strange that x86 does this. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
