Hi Todd,
well, i am doing something wrong - but not what you think. I spend some
time trying to find out which kernel version does work and which does not.
3.13.x

As can see older kernels when 3.14.13 versions work. „Newer“ do not.
The error message is always the same. I guess it has something to do with
changes in the kernel. But most likely
they are not introduced by Ubuntu - they are introduced by the vanilla
kernel.
If you want me to i can compile a vanilla kernel and see if that
assumption is true.
In any way: I am not a great C developer. But from my point of view it
seems that the function must be declared in the
sources to avoid the warning. And if the UTS_UBUNTU_RELEASE macro gets
removed the error is still the same.
