	Actually, all I did to get ppp-2.3.2 to cleanly compile was to:

rm /usr/src/linux ; ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.0 /usr/src/linux

	It compiled with no problems whatsoever with the 2.0 includes,
which would suggest that there are problems in the 2.1 includes.  In this
case, it seems to be linux/signal.h.

	I am using libc5, if this matters (5.4.38).

	I would like to thank Manuel J. Galan for his patch to get 2.1.69
to compile with the ppp-2.3.2 ppp.c, though.  Thanks!

	Sincerely,
	Jimmie Farmer
