It is official, you really have things screwed up in your machine.

I would advise you to install a new PC with all standard development 
packages, including kernel, of your favorite distro, using  the distro's 
provided kernel and see if this particular problem still exists. This is 
only if you can spare some hours doing it, and if you have the spare 
hardware, of course :)

I have just downloaded our own 'buildtool' tom compile stuff for uClibc, 
and the current CVS compiles lcd4linux with i2c support right on the 
first run! Don't know if it will actually work, as I don't have the 
hardware at hand right now. But no major compile errors is a pretty good 
start.

Well done Paul & Michael!

(now lets gather in prayer, hoping Michael can exorcise his devel PC...)
