It's true, but they should be defined by /usr/include/asm/ldt.h. So it's not 
my fault(unless you succeed in compiling a 2.6 with the -test9 patch).
Have you got a Debian? This problem has appeared on Debian unstable also for 
2.4, since that file is from the 2.6 headers.
The quick fix is to make /usr/include/asm and /usr/include/linux be symlinks 
into a 2.4 kernel tree, but only for compiling UML(for the other programs, in 
fact, they must stay as they are).

That's ok(apart for the uml-combo, I didn't test it), but I wasn't clear about 
A-04.
You can apply A-04-User_obj_makefiles-v2.patch(note the -v2), while you must 
not apply A-04-User_obj_makefiles.patch (now I've seen this wasn't uploaded). 
However that is unrelated to the above problem. Also, if you want some more 
to test, see my new message "UML patches against vanilla 2.6.0", which 
describes a more complete group of patches.
