i have attached a workaround for bug #263348 in case nobody wants to
fix it linux-kernel-headers.

it should work although being not that elegant. i know it is fragile
since relies on _PPC_ERRNO_H macro being defined by asm/errno.h on
powerpc and that could change in any moment.


the header file used is actually asm/byteroder.h and macro is
_PPC_BYTEORDER_H. 1:3.6.18-2 used asm/error.h but this broke things in
a manner i didn't understand.

Looking through the kernel source, it seems lkh should be fixed.  I
put the patch to lkh cvs.


good :)

However, now we're base-freeze period, and at least I don't decide to
put new lkh package -18 into unstable and testing-proposed-updates
yet, so it's good idea to put workaround fix for reiserfsprogs.


already put, uploaded and successfully built :)

BTW, I think reiserfsprogs is tightly coupled with the kernel version,
so I wonder it's OK to use lkh package, instead of using kernel
headers which are included from the latest kernel source to
reiserfsprogs.


don't know, Hans Reiser should be able to answer this question.

cheers
