Actually that was the solution suggested by Linus himself on the kernel
mailing list. The better solution is to upgrade to 1.3.80, which no
longer has this problem. In other words, you can keep
/usr/include/gnu/types.h the way it is. The fix was in 1.3.79,
incidentally, but you might as well as upgrade to the newest.
