The choke on ipc/shm.c is due to a missing #include, just add the
following to the file:
#include <linux/module.h>
They've made some changes to modules and filesystems that effect shared
memory, which, by the way is implemented as a virtual filesystem similar
to /proc or /dev/pty so make sure you have created /var/shm and add the
line:
none /var/shm shm defaults 0 0
to your /etc/fstab
