Comment 1 Ryan C. Gordon 2006-09-14 02:48:25 UTC 
This is a bug in the kernel headers (kernel_ulong_t is only typedef'd for kernel builds and not userspace apps using the headers), and appears to be fixed in 2.6.17.13 (and probably earlier...I just grabbed the latest kernel release to see).

I'm not really certain this is worth working around in SDL, so I'm resolving this as WONTFIX.
