That shouldn't matter. As long as you're compiling against the kernel
tree that the driver was written for, all should be well; which
kernel you run during the compile shouldn't affect the compilation
process. (Of course, you have to *insmod* the driver into the
kernel it was compiled against, but that's a different issue.)
It looks to me as if the build is mistakenly including
hacked glibc kernel headers, rather than real kernel
headers from /usr/src/linux/include. That can be fixed
in the environment, normally.
What Neal needs to do is:
(1) Be sure that there are no /usr/include/* directories
visible to the build process; undefine the INCLUDE environment
variable if need be.
(2) Ensure that the kernel headers for the kernel he wants
to build the driver against *are* visible to the build
process - following the instructions in the #error messages
should accomplish that, if he wants to build against the
running kernel. (The only reason I say "running kernel"
is that the instructions in the #error lines explicitly
invoke `uname`.)
(3) Ensure that the kernel he's building the driver against
is a version supported by the driver. For example, if the
driver was written for a 2.2 kernel, it may or may not
build properly using 2.4 kernel headers, depending on
how much the relevant kernel APIs have changed.
