Usually, for errors, fixing the first one will affect most of the
others (not always).

This warning you can safely ignore.

I had to put this line in sys-linux.c and pppstats.c:
#undef _LINUX_TYPES_H
I put the above line in BEFORE this line in both of those files:
#include <linux/types.h>

Good luck !

When is ppp-2.3.6 going to come out, with all these fixes included ???!!!???
It's long overdue........ ;-(
