  28.    I applied your fix to build.c with the following results:
  29.  
  30.        in file included from tools/build.c:25:
  31.        /usr/include/stdlib.h:115: parse error before '*'
  32.        /usr/include/stdlib.h:118: parse error before 'wchar_t'
  33.        /usr/include/stdlib.h:121: parse error before '*'
  34.        /usr/include/stdlib.h:123: parse error before '*'
  35.  
  36.    (Note: I also changed one line in Makefilerror before '*'
  37.      (Note: in Makefile:
  38.        HOSTCC    =gcc -static
  39.    becomes
  40.        HOSTCC    =gcc -static -I$(KERNELHDRS)
  41.    )
  42.  
  43.    Any suggestestions?  Thanks
  44.  
  45.  
  46. I found that fs.h was in the kernel header files, in
  47. /usr/src/linux/include/linux.   I symlinked to /usr/include/linux
  48. [ ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/linux /usr/include/linux ]
  49. and it worked fine.
  50.  
  51. Could someone more knowledgeable please comment if this is a good idea?
  52. Is the directory /usr/include/linux supposed to point to kernel headers?
