Matt, we've added patches for this to both trunk and branches/4.3.0/sid;
4.3.0-0pre1v5 will (does?) have this patch, however it appears it's
broken for 2.4 kernels (see James's message below).

Hmm, that's pretty bizzare, given this stanza:
/* Deal with spurious kernel header change */
#if defined(LINUX_VERSION_CODE) && defined(KERNEL_VERSION)
# if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(2,5,42)
# define rate period
# endif
#endif
AFAICT, the only kernel headers on there are 2.4.21-sparc, and it should
only be tripping #define rate period if the version is >= 2.5.42 (this
is the case for both branches/4.3.0/sid and trunk, FWIW, and the only
mention of 'period' in the extracted directories is protected by the
L_V_C #if.
Shit, *sigh*. I take it you don't still have the build tree kicking
around? If not, could you please install the build-deps somewhere on
vore so I can have a poke at this?
Cheers,
Daniel
