Subject: [PATCH] Linux 2.6.25 - posix_types.h


Linus,

The latest git download changes the behavior of posix_types.h such that 
non-kernel programs are no longer able to include posix types 
(e.g. xserver can no longer be compiled).

I don't know whether this is intended or a bug.

Attached is a patch to allow __i386__ as was done in the past.

Thanks,
Jeff.
