I had a look through the mailing list and someone else has had this exact 
problem. The fix that was suggetsed is as follows 

<linux/compiler.h> from that kerenl doesn't work well with glibc.  The
quick fix is to not #include it in <asm/sigcontext.h> and also
#define __user to nothing.  The better fix is bug RH to get the fix from
Debian (bugs #218447, #218482) or come up with their own fix.

This didnt make to much sense to me, so I had a look in /usr/include/asm/
sigcontext.h for any reference to linux/compiler.h and I couldnt find it.

Can anyone give me any additional info.

Thanks in advance

David
