Description: Starting 2.6.15 'include/asm-i386/system.h' has lines (301-304)
extern unsigned long cmpxchg_386_u8(volatile void *, u8, u8); extern unsigned long cmpxchg_386_u16(volatile void *, u16, u16); extern unsigned long cmpxchg_386_u32(volatile void *, u32, u32);
Here u8, u16, u32 types used in nonkernel namespace producing undefined type errors.
Solution: Rename types to __u8, __u16, __u32.
Since a few distributions derive their glibc kernel headers directly from kernel the problem is quite relevant.
Regards, A. Chentsov.
