Eww. Userspace app using kernel headers.

Your best bet here would be to get the Aurora 1.92 kernel SRPM, install
it (rpm -ivh kernel*.src.rpm), then prep the tree (rpmbuild
-bp /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/kernel*.spec), then go
into /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-*/linux*/include/ and make a symlink
from asm-sparc to asm. Last but not least, you'd want to add the
following flag to the bacula compile string:

-I/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-*/linux*/include/

In that string, you want to replace the * with the actual values in the
path, so it looks the same as when you type `pwd` in the include
directory of the kernel source tree.

Then, bacula should get past those errors. Of course, it might just as
likely explode again, but its step one.

In the next major Aurora build, we're going to have proper kernel
headers in place for both sparc and sparc64, so this shouldn't be a
problem.
