Does mythtv show the same kind of error with linux 2.6.9 as util-linux (see my 
previous mail)?
Should we use this fix for every package with this kind of error? 
I have linux 2.6.9 related fixes for 18 packages atm, of which 14 are of the 
util-linux type. 

Some packages just require <linux/compiler.h> to be included here and there. 
The error shown is something like (error messages are translated):

In file included from contr.c:24:
/usr/include/linux/capi.h:80: Fehler: Variable or array »__user« declared as 
»void«

lvm2 shows the error:

In file included from /usr/include/linux/fs.h:19,
                 from device/dev-io.c:34:
/usr/include/linux/prio_tree.h:22: Fehler: parse error before "pgoff_t"

I worked around this by copying the #define for pgoff_t from linux/types.h.
