Are you kidding? The fact that you can't fix it easily on your side
doesn't mean that he problem is on the other side.
The definition of the structure ustat in sys/ustat.h is associated with
the C function ustat() since glibc 2.0 and in HP-UX. You can't simply
remove it and standard.
linux-libc-dev should not directly export a kernel structure. Either
remove it or use #ifdef __KERNEL__, but don't bother us with that.
