Actually using 2.6.11 - but I tried the advice on that page anyway.  So 
far I've compiled:

#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(2,5,47)
#define modify_ldt_ldt_s user_desc
#endif

3 different ways, once as the artical has (2,5,24) once with (2,6,11) once 
by removing the #if #endif lines, keeping the #define modify_ldt_ldt_s 
user_desc, currently I'm trying to compile with all the three lines 
commented out.. I have another patch from b-LFS that suppose to help 
compile under 2.6.11 but it does not patch 'ldt_keeper.c'

If this compile fails, is there anything I can do to force ldt_keeper to 
compile?  Seems it is syntax only?  Since its a compile-time error?

Jon.
