The problem is that it is not people who use the size_t macro, but the linux-kernel-headers themselves. Any new on this, it is really a pain to have, since i can't thus continue working on parted and at the same time upgrade my system. Also, it totally breaks building parted, and i feel that it should have a priority higher than it has now, not sure though. Anyway, is there anyway i can help on this, so that it gets solved ?
