These includes were added by 079effb6933f34b9b1b67b08bd4fd7fb672d16ef to

a lot of things unavailable in the decompression environment), so don't
include it if STATIC is defined.


The description "actually creates issues (brings a lot of things

describe te problem this patch fixes more completely so that others
(ie: me) can decide whether this patch is needed in 2.6.32, 2.6.31. 2.6.30, ...


This patch conflicts heavily with

http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/bzip2-lzma-remove-nasty-uncompressed-size-hack-in-pre-boot-environment.patch


What should we do about that?


What do you normally do in this situation?  I'm happy to send a revised
bzip2-lzma-remove-nasty-uncompressed-size-hack-in-pre-boot-environment.patch
that would apply cleanly on-top of Alvin's patch, but, this will obviously
create dependencies on his patch being applied.
