Unfortunately with that "fix" axctl won't work and with kernels earlier
than 2.2.11 one can produce a major kernel screw-up with it... :(
(The AX.25 related security update mentioned at
http://www.uk.linux.org/VERSION/relnotes.2211.html fixes the latter.)
The problem is a little more complicated and the real fix needs to be done
in the "compatibility headers" that libax25 installs. I have sent patches
for libax25 to Craig so we'll just have to wait...

I'd suggest you instead do the following:
1. Run "make uninstall"
2. Run "./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var"
3. Run "make" and "make install".
You do this to all the three packages starting with libax25 and suddenly
you have all the stuff in the "right" places... The "make uninstall" is of
course needed only if you have already installed the packages to
/usr/local.
Hope this helps.
