compiling futex-2.2
I tried downloading and compiling the futex-2.2 package, and ran into some snags.
The linux/futex.h file uses a number of nonstandard data types but does not itself include any other headers. IN addition, the "u32" data type
is problematic, since it is only defined in the kernel headers if__KERNEL__ is defined. Perhaps it should be defined as "__u32"?
Also, there is a definition of sys_futex in the package headers that does not match the definition in the latest kernel headers. Any plans to update the package?

As an alternate fix I tried wrapping the two function declarations with "ifdef __KERNEL__", and added the missing parm to the syscall in the futex library. This seemed to work, so maybe this would be cleaner?
