compile problem with 2.3 and <sys/shm.h>

    When some program include'd <sys/shm.h>, it fails to compile when shm.h is
    from 2.3, not when it's from 2.2. I have a feeling this is because I use
    libc5.

    in /usr/include/linux/wait.h, it has an #ifdef __KERNEL__ on top of the
    file.

    Should that be removed, or should /usr/include/asm/semaphore.h contain one
    too (more likely)?

    Here is what I get:
