FWIW the line in question:
__u8 short slot_tablelen;
looks to me like it might be a coding error. A __u8 is an 8-bit
value, a short is 16 bits. The result of these conflicting demands
is that gcc-2.95 makes it a 16-bit value, and gcc-3.3 barfs.
The possible consequences are reduced by the fact that this
line is the only occurrence of slot_tablelen in the entire kernel
source...
