[Anton Altaparmakov]

You are using gcc-3.1. Upgrade to a newer / downgrade to an older version 
or enable the work around I have posted before. (edit fs/ntfs/types.h and 
add your compiler version to the #if __GNUC__... line at the top)

Your gcc is broken is the summary.

Best regards,

         Anton
