Well I dunno - I cannot reproduce this with gcc-3.4.2.

I assume what's happening is that

	get_current->read_pda->pda_from_op->pda_offset->offsetof

is using the gcc-3 version of offsetof:

#define offsetof(TYPE, MEMBER) ((size_t) &((TYPE *)0)->MEMBER)

only we don't have a definition of size_t in scope.

Except pda.h includes linux/types.h.

Another possibility is that the compiler is being silly and is expanding
typeof(a_size_t_type) into `size_t' and is then unable to find a definition
of size_t.

Hey, I've got an idea: I'll punt this to the maintainer ;)


Can you please run

	make drivers/media/video/pwc/pwc-uncompress.i

and then make that file available?  (It's half a meg - just mail it to me
privately and I'll upload it).
