Comment (by kelmo):
Sorry, its not the fact that jiffies.h does not exist at all (i should
have had sleep before reporting the problem so poorly).
I was reporting that in response to failure to build on a 2.4.32 kernel
(maybe simply a gcc issue?). The following error:
{{{

}}}
Also, I noticed another project that adds a compat macro for this problem,
so that msecs_to_jiffies can be used on some legacy kernels:-

Thanks, Kel.
