With which kernel headers is one supposed to compile MOL for 2.4?
Usually one had to point /usr/src/linux to the sources of the kernel on
which MOL was going to run, because the modules wanted the right kernel
version.
Now, if I try to compile MOL (versions 0.9.48 through 51) with headers
from 2.4.0-test kernels, it does not compile due to conflicts in those
horrible string.h headers:
gcc -pipe -O2 -Wall -fomit-frame-pointer -mmultiple
-I/mnt/root2/BUILD/mol-0.9.51/sinclude -I./include -I../include
-I../../include -c -o obj/scsi-unit.o scsi-unit.c

OK, so I'll have to wait anyway.
