Package: linux-libc-dev
Version: 2.6.29-2
Severity: important
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
With kernel 2.6.29 there has been a change from asm/types.h to linux/types.h
for a lot of the kernel includes:
-#include <asm/types.h>
+#include <linux/types.h>
This leads to FTBS errors like the one from VDR - see snippet A below. A short
test for this is to compile, this:
#include <linux/types.h>
#include <stdint.h>
int main() { return 0; }
There's a clash between linux/types.h and stdint.h because types.h defines some
POSIX types defined in stdint.h as well.
Arnd Bergmann already prepared a patch for this, which unfortunately didn't
made it into 2.6.29.
See:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/jaswinder/linux-2.6-tip.git;a=shortlog;h=core/header-fixes
I've just applied the whole patchset from the core/header-fixes branch and it
works fine.
As far as I can see, these changes already made it into Linus' kernel tree.
