I can confirm this with linux-1.99.10 (pre2.0.10), gcc-2.7.2,
binutils-2.6.0.14, and libc-5.3.12.

I did this instead:

This works with _no_ complaints at all.
Why did I add <linux/shed.h> ??

However, in this case it might a kernel problem in that
<linux/sched.h> should be #include'd by <linux/interrupt.h>
The use of autoconf to create a configure script is badly needed for
