3.10-rc1: commit ccdfcc398594 broke uClibc build.

[Rob Landley]

The #include <linux/kernel.h> added to include/uapi/linux/netlink.h  
causes the uClibc build to go:

In file included from include/linux/kernel.h:4,
                  from include/linux/netlink.h:4,
                  from include/linux/rtnetlink.h:5,
                  from libc/inet/netlinkaccess.h:27,
                  from libc/inet/if_index.c:37:
include/linux/sysinfo.h:8: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list  
before '__kernel_long_t'
make: *** [libc/inet/if_index.o] Error 1

If I comment out that line, it builds fine. The kernel builds (for my  
config) either way.

Do, linux-net is no more...

Comment out which line?  Line 8 of include/linux/sysinfo.h or the new #include
line?

Also, what arch are you compiling for?

My Aboriginal Linux project does arm, mips, powerpc, sparc, sh4, x86,  
x86_64, m68k, and I'm poking at adding alpha.

I believe the uClibc build breaks in a target-independent manner. I  
just rebuilt armv5l without the patch to confirm:
