Are you compiling a 64-bit kernel? With which GCC release? In that case I can guess what's going on: __u64 is being defined as "unsigned long", which is valid, and gcc is not recognizing it's the same thing as unsigned long (and it's right since normally they're different). However, I've never seen that (possibly I tested only before doing some changes about this, which are in -bb1). > but this makes me think that I am missing something like an include file > with a definition somewhere. > Any ideas? -- Inform me of my mistakes, so I can keep imitating Homer Simpson's "Doh!".
