2.6.12.2 header problems

[Christian Jaeger]

Hello

I'm trying to compile mol-0.9.70 for kernel 2.6.12.2 (kernel.org).

I'm getting hairy include file problems, as shown below. Why are
include files missing? And then why are there conflicts when I made
symlinks trying to solve the missing ones?

Can anyone explain me why mol includes both glibc and linux-kernel
headers? Why can't one keep those separate? Why must there be
conflicts? Is it just the order of the include paths that's wrong?

It can't be that I have to upgrade my userspace, right? I really don't
want to upgrade most of my userspace just to get nonconflicting header
files. I'm running Debian Woody, and that suits me fine - I don't have
the disk space, nor the time risking the upgrade, nor superfluous cpu
cylces for new bloat, I simply have to expect only drawbacks and
hassles doing an upgrade to Sarge here, for no benefit except that
*maybe* header files won't conflict anymore. Please don't tell me
that's the way linux is meant to work.

Thanks for any hints
Christian.

yes, the file is containing: #include "autoconf.h"
and there's no such file in the dir; there's only:
