Kernel build tools

With 2.2.3
mkdep.c and split-include.c won't build on a vanilla RH5 system.

I'll admit I'm not totally sure what the chain of errors is that results in this,

but does mkdep really NEED
map = mmap(NULL, mapsize, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, fd, 0); ??

which means it includes
#include <sys/mman.h>

Which doesn't exist on the system I was building on.

I'd have thought a prerequisite for these tools would be "system header independence" ?

Yes, I can work round it, I just don't think I should have had to.

Thanks
Peter
