Hi, 
    
  
attached there is  a patch to make cdrtools 2.01 compatible to Linux
2.6.1.
If the patch is not needed for some distros, which are assembled
somehow, it does not harm anything...
    
Why should I add a wrong definition that would _break_ compilation
once the Linux kernel include files are fixed?

If you like to get a fix, go to the Linux Kernel people and request
a fix for their bugs!


  
Problems may be caused by common user errors like using kernel include files, particularly if it's done wrong by assuming that /usr/src/linux points to the running kernel instead of the distribution kernel. It also results silly end-user issues, such as generating an executable which will only run on a single kernel series, like 2.0, 22, 2.4, 2.6, but doesn't have kernel detection built in or include the kernel series in the executable name so the user can select the correct version.

  It seemed like a good idea at the time
