Hi,

When trying to compile ibm-acpi 0.6 on Debian Sarge it fails with the
following errors:

I mailed Boris about this, but he couldn't find a solution. He suspected
it to be missing kernel headers or another missing package. Could it be
some cutting-edge gcc or so that is breaking the compile process? I'm
running kernel 2.6.9, gcc 3.3.5 and make 3.80.

thanks,
