 Thats why I included so much of the make output. I thought it looked funny. I
 dont know much about autoconf. As I dont know how a correct output look
like I really dont know whats wrong.

But this seams to indicate that what's wrong is not the include file but more a
problem with the linker.The linker complains on _start but configure takes it as a

error on sys_errlist ??

I can tar my header files so someone else can test. The same error should happen
on all system as this is target specific right ??
