/usr/include/asm/elf.h:13: sizeof applied to an incomplete type
make[1]: *** [insmod.o] Error 1

The relevant parts of asm/elf.h:

typedef unsigned long elf_greg_t;

#define ELF_NGREG (sizeof (struct user_regs_struct) /
sizeof(elf_greg_t))
typedef elf_greg_t elf_gregset_t[ELF_NGREG];

Line 13 is the last typedef (which uses the ELF_NGREG macro).

You know what to do.[1]

[1]: Blame it on people without the imagination to make up REAL elf
names, of course. I mean, whoever heard of an elf named "Greg"? If you
can't rip off someone else's elf names (e.g. "Questor"), go for long
("Aglaranna"), woodsy ("Silverleaf"), and/or bug me for one
("Leitryonne").
