I recently snagged all of the 'required' sources for utils deemed
necessary to run a curretn 2.1.x kernel. However, I tried to compile
fbset and it bombed:

fbset.h:34: parse error before `__u32'
fbset.h:34: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union

not such a big problem, but, the same (__u32 and __u8) problem occurs when
I try compile pppd-2.3.5:

Now, i can get by by explicitly declaring these. But, I would rather know
WHY they would work for geert (fbset) but not for myself? Someone
suggested upgrading to the latest libc. So, I installed glibc 2.0.97 this
morning.

It made no difference toeither. It appears that these defs come from
sys/types.h. is there an alternative? Someone please help, I tried.
