Actually, I maintain kcdlabel, a KDE program that #includes linux/cdrom.h 
and so gets bitten by the same bugs as kdemultimedia.  I will try
without -pedantic and see if that helps.

The thing is, they managed to fix this for at least i386 by making sure
that some pieces of asm/byteorder.h (IIRC) weren't pulled in in
userspace apps, but were reserved for kernel level things - I think this
is ultimately the smart way to go for all arches.
