You did not fix this, since you assume that the kernel headers and the kernel is the same.
If they are not, the bug is still there, so it is NOT because of the BSP stuff,
and you fixed the symptom, not the cause.
Try setting LINUX26_VERSION to 2.6.22.1 and build with openswan,
and you see what I mean.

No, I want to have two ways of building linux, 
until the BSP stuff is fully tested, and then merge into one.
Not fill the single linux makefile with a lot of kludges
which has no long term validity.
