Hi Richard,

I tried the new modutils release, but it fails to build with messages
similar to the problems with 2.1.55. Something seems still messed up in
the include files.

make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/modutils-2.1.71/kerneld'
gcc -O2 -Wall -I../include -D_GNU_SOURCE -DDEBUG -DNO_GDBM -c -o
kerneld.o kerneld.c
kerneld.c: In function `main':
kerneld.c:806: incompatible types in assignment
kerneld.c:806: warning: left-hand operand of comma expression has no
effect
kerneld.c:806: warning: statement with no effect
make[1]: *** [kerneld.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/modutils-2.1.71/kerneld'
make: *** [all] Error 2

I'm using 2.1.71 kernel includes.

Regards,
Bill
