This bothered me, so I've looked into it a little, and
I'll give you my (unofficial) answer.
a. The wait_queue_head_t in linux/include/linux/usb.h
is only present in 2.2 kernel builds. I.e., it's
there for backport support. You didn't say what
kernel version you are building for, just that you
"installed the kernel 2.3.99-pre2," which is a little
ambiguous. Anyway, in doing 2.3.xx builds, this
isn't a problem, so you must be doing 2.2.zz builds
via the backport patch, which also works because wait.h
is different in 2.2, so... (b.)
b. What is your "[compiling an] unrelated program"?
Is it a kernel driver or other kernel change?
Is it a user-space program? If user space, it
shouldn't be including all of these kernel header
files anyway.
So I don't think that there's a real problem here,
IMO.
