The problems I was getting were with redefinitions, and I tried pathing in
/usr/src/linux/include as some stuff was called with linux/xxx.h which were
located in /usr/src/linux/include/linux, but that didn't help and gave other
redefinition errors.
I'm using a 2.2.18 kernel, and even though I would like to upgrade to the
2.4.x kernel, I want to continue to try and get e2compr going (the kernel
patch worked for 2.2.18 with one minor mod which I have sent a message to the
maintainers), but the patch to the e2fsprogs didn't compile after it was
patched. Anyway, I use this to compile a compressed image that I can flash
over the net, and would like to be able to do that if possible.

Thanks for the info Steve, I'll dig around the linuxppc-dev list and see if I
can find your patch.
