I tried the latest version with the latest Debian patches and I even wi=
ped
out the lfssystem and started from scratch.
Looks like we have to wait a couple more days until somebody writes an
patch.

Do we have nobody on the mailinglist who can fix this?

Those are 2 essential tools. :-((

OOPS, didn't I mention it? krb5 compiles fine now. ;-)

Can't hurt to try ...  :-)

I don't use them (that I know of).  I guess others do.

Yes, you did.  That was only an example.

Sorry.  My Linux development system is Redhat based, and I run the Redhat
kernels and utilities.  (I.e., I never download and compile my own kernels
[though I have recompiled the kernel from Redhat], and I almost never
download and compile utilities that were included with Redhat [though I have
been known to make exceptions for utilities were I don't want to wait the
6-9 months for Redhat, especially IDEs!].)

I don't have the resources to setup a development environment for this.

Ditto, I can do "normal" C programs, but the kernel stuff is beyond me.

I read one posting about this error that said it compiles with the
kernel headers from an older kernel.  (although I have no idea if it
actually runs on 2.4.22 afterwords :)

You might want to try using the 2.4.21 headers for those compiles and
see if the resulting binaries run on 2.4.22.

Another option is you can update the CVS and we omit compiling those two
packages until they're fixed (like we were doing with krb5 for awhile).
