Can you check silo-pre0.7.3-2.tgz?

Chances from -1 release:
fixed the problem some people had with compilation (both the 64K difference
and S_ISLNK)
added spec file
Fixed problems with IDE disks on Ultras (it know groks all /dev/hd[a-h]
partitions and all /dev/sda -> /dev/sddx partitions).
So I'd like to ask all people with PCI Ultras to test that if they can as
well.

Cheers,
    Jakub

I get the same thing with the second pre-release, but it compiles this
time.
