There are two parts to this ...

the first is the same as Bug 35784 ... i've included the fix there

the second is that dosfsck/boot.c fails because of linux/msdos_fs.h
root@vapier 3 dosfsck # make
gcc -c  boot.c
In file included from /usr/include/linux/msdos_fs.h:8,
                 from dosfsck.h:16,
                 from boot.c:13:
/usr/include/linux/buffer_head.h:54: error: syntax error before "sector_t"
/usr/include/linux/buffer_head.h:62: error: syntax error before '}' token
<yatta yatta yatta>

anyways, the fix is easy, just ifdef the include in linux/msdos_fs.h:
#ifdef __KERNEL__
#include <linux/buffer_head.h>
#endif
the only code that uses the buffer head stuff is also inside an #ifdef __KERNEL__
so no breakage should happen

Fixed in linux-headers-2.6.0.
