The supplied patch is just a workaround.  The real problem is in
linux-kernel-headers, whose linux/toshiba.h has scurrulous code relating to
tosh_get_util which is not present in any kernel source I've seen.

The problematic code is:

#ifdef CONFIG_PROC_FS
static int tosh_get_info(char *, char **, off_t, int);
#else /* !CONFIG_PROC_FS */
inline int tosh_get_info(char *buffer, char **start, off_t fpos, int lenght)
{
        return 0;
}
#endif /* CONFIG_PROC_FS */

It appears neither in 2.4 nor 2.6 kernel source. I suppose it should be
simply deleted?  Where did it come from?

While I could alter the source for toshutils, it looks as though the code in
linux-kernel-headers ought to be changed. 

I am therefore reassigning the bug rather than uploading a patched version of
toshutils.
