This is also what I want to report to Linus, since the 2.4.0 kernel. Some of the kernel modules (drivers) are not compatible to the kernel API. Such as a SCSI controller driver PCI2000 PCI2220i and one of the V4L driver modules, these modules not even get through the compiler, and how come no one reporting this and fix them up from version to version? Since we are now up to release 2.4.9, I think these compilation error will directly effecting the image of Linux. I hope the module maintainer who heard this message should take some action to fix them up. Or you might able to fix them up by porting the old code to use the changed APIs, they are probably using different function names or macros, I don't think there will be a serious or big change. Just be patient and go through the compilation error messages from gcc and get through them all. For your case it might be the include files at your compile time is different from your running version. Check them.
regards,
David Chow
