i had a similar problem with missing headers when compiling alsa a
few months ago.
eventually, takashi sent me a fix for the alsa code.
in msr.h, it says
/*
* Access to machine-specific registers (available on 586 and better
only)
* Note: the rd* operations modify the parameters directly (without
using
* pointer indirection), this allows gcc to optimize better
*/
so it's not really surprising that it's missing in asm-ppc :)
looks like somebody over-optimized a little.
you might want to ask on linux-ppc-dev
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for ppc alternatives.
btw, didn't linus strongly discourage the usage of kernel header
files for userspace apps ?
how come they are needed now ?
