On MIPS architecture, sysklogd fails to compile because linux/module.h depends on asmlinkage, which is defined linux/linkage.h. The "proper" fix to this would probably be to apply the mips-fixed-fls-warning.patch to the linux sources, which patches asm-mips/system.h to always include linux/linkage.h. --- sysklogd-1.4.1/ksym_mod.c.orig 2000-09-12 14:15:28.000000000 -0700 +++ sysklogd-1.4.1/ksym_mod.c 2005-08-15 14:11:42.000000000 -0700 @@ -89,6 +89,7 @@ #include #include #include +#include #if !defined(__GLIBC__) #include #include
