I was building libsdl1.2debian from Debian sources when the compilation
stopped with the error:

Downgrading to the recent version, 2.6.13+0rc3-2.1, fixed the problem. I
realize this could be a libsdl1.2 debian problem, but in
/usr/include/linux/input.h where the error occurred, it seems that
private kernel data types are being used outside of an #ifdef __KERNEL__
#endif block.

Oddly in the version that works for me, public data types are being used
inside a __KERNEL__ block.  I would think that the structure in question
should be inside the __KERNEL__ block, where, I suspect, sdl won't even
see it.

BTW, I'm still using gcc-3.4 for the smaller binaries, if that makes a
difference and an unpatched kernel, 2.6.16.19.

Verson: 2.6.21-1

fixed in newer input.h of linux-libc-dev,
thus closing.
