The pwlib is a complete disaster if you've recompiled
glibc against Linux 2.6 headers. (People are going to
do that more and more these days.) The kernel headers
really aren't happy in userspace programs,
particularly if you're using g++ instead of gcc.

For example:

configure:5478: checking linux/videodev.h presence
configure:5489: g++ -E  conftest.cc
In file included from /usr/include/linux/device.h:17,
                 from /usr/include/linux/videodev.h:6,
                 from configure:5521:
/usr/include/linux/list.h:576:2: warning: #warning
"don't include kernel headers
 in userspace"
In file included from /usr/include/asm/smp.h:18,
                 from /usr/include/linux/smp.h:17,
                 from /usr/include/linux/sched.h:23,
                 from /usr/include/linux/module.h:10,
                 from /usr/include/linux/device.h:21,
                 from /usr/include/linux/videodev.h:6,
                 from configure:5521:
/usr/include/asm/mpspec.h:6:25: mach_mpspec.h: No such
file or directory
In file included from /usr/include/linux/smp.h:17,
                 from /usr/include/linux/sched.h:23,
                 from /usr/include/linux/module.h:10,
                 from /usr/include/linux/device.h:21,
                 from /usr/include/linux/videodev.h:6,
                 from configure:5521:
/usr/include/asm/smp.h:73:26: mach_apicdef.h: No such
file or directory
configure:5495: $? = 1

And this is *after* I've hacked on the headers
slightly, adding <asm/bug.h> to <linux/spinlock.h> and
renaming function parameters called "new" to "n" etc.
