This was was required for both build/ov534_9.c and build/spca505.c to
build agaist 3.5.
Sure enough, this seems to fix support for this camera in both Cheese
and Skype. Hurray! :-)
Now, the only thing that remains is for this to be merged in the 3.5
tree, then backported to the 3.2 tree that is used for Debian's
upcoming Wheezy stable release (and for Ubuntu's recently released
Precise also).
Thanks again to everyone for the hand-holding!
Cheers!

PS: Jonathan, do you feel like investigating why
arch/x86/Makefile_32.cpu wasn't included in the
linux-headers-3.5.0-rc6+_3.5.0-rc6+-1_i386.deb package that was
generated by the 'make deb-pkg' target?
