So how does a kernel compile end up accessing:

                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

In /usr/src there used to be a simlink called /usr/src/linux. It
was a link to /usr/src/linux-`uname -r`. This was also sim-linked
to /usr/include/linux.  There is a possibility that if you
renamed your new /usr/src-linux-2.6.12 to /usr/src/linux, it
overwrote the headers that your 'C' library was compiled with.

After that, all bets are off. To fix, remove the link, /usr/include/linux
and link it to where it used to be as:

	ln -sf /usr/src/linux-2.4.31/include/linux /usr/include/linux
	ln -sf /usr/src/linux-2.4.31/include/asm   /usr/include/asm

That should permanently isolate your old 'C' runtime library
include files from new kernel headers.

Then don't use anything called /usr/src/linux. Use the complete
name like /usr/src/linux-2.6.12. That way, these things don't
happen.
