[hcflinux] problems with a debian (linex) version

[Kevin Ross]

It looks like you need to upgrade to the "testing" distribution, or at the
very least, the libc6-dev package, and whatever it depends on.  I'm actually
running the unstable (sid) distribution, not a clean woody system, and the
driver builds fine on my system.
