Summary:                    make problem
Description: 
./configure works OK. running make give error during compilation: module
'include/asound.h' (line 210) has some 'typedef' that doesn't match with
(probably) OS include. As a result, compilation stops and driver can not
be produced.

<engage whiney rant>
I would really like to get a working sound card for my Linux system.  I
bought a specific card (Creative SB Live 24 bit) that was available (Ok,
CompUSA ... serves me right), and which is listed as "compatible" with RHL
E4 (https://hardware.redhat.com/hwcert/show.cgi?id=153338).  Where did I
go wrong?  Expecting the documentation to be correct?  Mis-interpreting
"compatible" with "supported"?  Ok.  My mistake.  Fourty lashes for the
idiot with the expectations.  Fine.  Please.  I just.  Want.  Sound.  I'll
buy another card if it'll do any good.  I'll wax your car.  I'll wash your
dog (and vice versa).  Anything.  Now, I haven't done C or C++ for 8
years, so patching the kernel is right out.  Why can't these pesky drivers
be written in XML, Perl, or SQL?

FYI
$ cat /proc/version

For example, the prototype of kmalloc() has changed to:

    void *kmalloc(size_t size, unsigned int __nocast flags);

For normal compilation, this attribute expands to an empty string; it has
no effect. 

alsa-driver-1.0.11/include/adriver.h  ( Fedora Core 1 - Kernel 2.4 )

#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,12)
#include <linux/compiler.h>
...
#ifndef __nocast
#define __nocast
#endif
...
#endif


When the sparse tool is being used, however, the __nocast attribute
disables many of the implicit type conversions performed by the compiler.
In the kmalloc() case, sparse will complain whenever a signed integer
value is passed as the flags argument.


typedef int gfp_t;

in gpf.h
