Bugzilla Bug 144082

The package media-plugins/vdr-bitstreamout-0.85 fails to compile against
sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.17.

/usr/include/asm-generic/bitops/fls64.h:11: error: 'fls' was not declared in

make: *** [bitstreamout.o] Error 1

The function fls which is used by fls64 seems to be defined only for in kernel
usage (#ifdef __KERNEL__). But fls64 is defined without #ifdef around.

vdr-bitstreamout does not use fls/fls64 itself, it only uses some of the other
bitops.

Commenting out the line #include <asm-generic/bitops/fls64.h>
(/usr/include/asm/bitops.h, line #409) or moving it inside the #ifdef
__KERNEL__ block will cure the error for vdr-bitstreamout.

Will this be fixed, or should we think about a workaround?

It's now fixed in 2.6.17-r1; sorry for the crazily long delay.
