Hi,

Over the holidays I was trying to build some externel kernel modules and they failed to build because linux/bounds.h wasn't in sysroots.

I did this quick hack to work around it:


I'm not convinced that the above is the right way to solve it, but I lack the required kbuild knowledge to come up with a better one. Does anyone have a hint on how to approach this problem in a better way?

regards,

Koen
