As it mentions `/usr/include/linux/ethtool.h', it seems to be an
include that's part of the
cross build environment.

There's a similar issue with:

| src/Documentation/accounting/getdelays.c: error: 'struct nlattr' has
no member named 'nla_len': 464, 495, 142, 187, 140, 469 => 464, 495,
142, 508, 187, 140, 469

which only triggers on the same sparc64 cross build environment...

I'm just using the logs from the linux-next build service...

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
