OK - just tried tweaking src/fstools/fs_tools.h and changed the LINUX section 
to the following : 

/*
  * Linux 2.whatever. We'll see how stable the interfaces are.
  */
#if defined(LINUX2)
#define SUPPORTED
#include <linux/types.h>
#define HAVE_LLSEEK
#define LSEEK           lseek
#define OFF_T           off_t
#define STRTOUL         strtoul
#define DADDR_T         daddr_t
#define DEF_FSTYPE              "linux-ext2"
#define HAVE_TIMEZONE   1
#endif /* LINUX */

This gives a clean compile (syscall5 is not producing the error btw - it's all 
lseek related as far as I can see), but I don't know if it actually works.

I'm going to go to bed to try to sleep (I will not hack other people's code at 
1:00 a.m. I will not hack other people's code at 1:00 a.m. I will not hack 
other people's code at 1:00 a.m. I will not hack other people's code at 1:00 
a.m. I will not hack other people's code at 1:00 a.m. ;-) 

Looking forward to the flames in the morning.
