cannot build compat-wireless

[Benjamin Schulz]

Hi,
I have currently a 2.6.24 kernel on the distribution gentoo 
(http://www.gentoo.org). Unfortunately, I can't build compat wireless, 
getting the following error:

> r165184 compat-wireless-2008-08-06 # make
> ./scripts/gen-compat-autoconf.sh config.mk > include/linux/compat_autoconf.h

Other users of the distribution gentoo have the same error, see
