Hi,

I've tried to get wine to compile under a 2.2.17 kernel machine (w/ RedHat
7.0), not particularly because of Stefan's problems under RH-5.2, but
trying to track down some other bugs (although hopefully the patches will
help a little :)

The first stumbling block was in dlls/ntdll/cdrom.c. Two routines in the
file try to set members of the cdrom_generic_command structure (defined in
linux/cdrom.h) that don't exist in 2.2.x kernels, but do exist in 2.4.x
kernels.

The attached patch adds configure checks for these structure members and
puts "#ifdef"s around the assignments in dlls/ntdll/cdrom.c . I don't know
the knock-on effects for not setting these values, but presumably getting
something to work is better than wine not compiling :)

On a point of style, should there be one test for these two structure
members, or two independent tests? The members appear in the kernel at the
same time (2.2.x -> 2.4.0)

ChangeLog:
  Towards fixing compilation under 2.2.x kernels

NB both configure and include/config.h.in need to be regenerated.

... but, the problems didn't stop there. The compilation continues until
it starts to use wmc, which core-dumps on the /second/ usage.

The DEBUG output above was from the following patch:

so, wmc is crashing before it is running main(), suggesting some linking 
problem? The machine is running glibc 2.2.4 (via RedHat RPM 
glibc-2.2.4-18.7.0.3) and I was compiling with the alleged "v2.96" release 
of gcc (RPM gcc-2.96-85).

Any ideas?
