Possibly. Though I have found no references in the mandrake-list archive
or newsgroup.

Ok, <linux/fs.h> includes <linux/types.h> includes <linux/posix_types.h>
includes <asm/posix_types> which defines

typedef unsigned long   __kernel_ino_t;
 
further, <linux/types.h> defines

#ifndef __KERNEL_STRICT_NAMES
typedef __kernel_ino_t          ino_t;
#endif

I found two strange things:
1) The headers used were not from the kernel, but from compat-glibc
   in /usr/i586-glibc20-linux/include
2) When I removed those, the kernel headers were used but
   __KERNEL_STRICT_NAMES seems to be defined.

I removed the #ifndef __KERNEL_STRICT_NAMES from
/usr/include/asm/posix_types.h (I guess that's a bad idea) and
compiled the tdfx module (and it worked!)

If anyone could enlighten me on 1 & 2 I'd be very happy.
