For UML, you should probably add the prototype to a good header inside arch/um/include (those headers are in the searchpath for every file under arch/um) - probably the one which declared uml_strdup. Yes, we have had to duplicate prototypes for many functions... for inlines, we've had to provide in many case a non-inline version.
Thanks for the tip. I'll have to read the code more carefully to understand better where the userspace ends and the kernel begins, so that I don't do similar mistakes in the future.
I'll redo the patch and post it for review, probably during next week. I don't think there is much hurry, because, even if this gets accepted, it should go in only in 2.6.12-rc1-mm1 or something like that, so there is still time to review this more carefully.
Thanks for reviewing the patch,
