Bah, ofcourse there's libdwarf-dev and libdw-dev, both providing dwarf.h. Obviously I installed libdwarf-dev and instead I need libdw-dev *hate* Anyway, yes, compile now fails as advertised. And patch fixes it -- now I need to figure out what to do about urgent, because applying it on top of Linus' tree will create conflicts with patches already in tip/x86/mm *sigh*.
