I googled my svgalib_helper linux-2.6.36 problem and it was reported
to bugs.gentoo.org with the same error output I had.
error: unknown field ‘ioctl' specified in initializer
In linux-2.6.36/include/fs.h struct file_operations {...
the ioctl definition was removed but there were unlocked_ioctl and
compat_ioctl . I checked linux-2.6.35.2 and all three were in fs.h.
I tried plugging in both unlocked_ioctl and compat_ioctl into the
svgalib_helper code and the module compiled but didn't work
correctly. Hopefully whoever maintains the package in gentoo
will come up with a patch.
I backed up to linux-2.6.35.2 and have not seen any problems yet
concerning header compatibility. I wish I had known this when I
started my build.
