[syslinux] syslinux build fails with 2.6 linux headers

As the subject says, building syslinux fails when built against 2.6.8.1
kernel headers. Anybody out there have a patch? The compile errors are
below.

[syslinux] syslinux build fails with 2.6 linux headers

Looks like <linux/ext2_fs.h> includes <linux/ext2_fs_sb.h> without 
__KERNEL__; so it needs an #ifdef __KERNEL__ somewhere.

I tried defining __KERNEL__ (a bad idea, I know) which eliminated some of
the errors. This seemed to leave another incomplete definition that
required inclusion of an arch dependent header. And yes, I would consider
this to be a kernel bug, but realistically it needs to be fixed in
syslinux (and the kernel where necessary). The world is not going to stay
with 2.4 just for the sake of syslinux. I would have hoped that the kernel
maintainers would have made a greater effort to maintain compatibility
since syslinux is a required utility for building floppy images in 2.6 but
this does not seem to be the case :-(

Actually, the linux-libc-headers seem to be required.  I'd like the 
kernel headers to work too, so please send a bug report/patch.

Well, I actually happen to agree, but Linus doesn't.  The 
linux-libc-headers is now the approved substitute for kernel headers in 
userspace.
