[linux-cifs-client] CIFS / Linux 2.4 and arm

[Jean-Luc - OEL]

I have been trying to install CIFS client to linux 2.4.22 compile with 
arm-elf-gcc.

I have first tried with cifs-1.20c.tar.bz2 + cifs24.patch. It didn't 
work because of the pragma pack directive, so I update the header files 
with __attribute__(packed), but it complained about illegal size at the 
seconds message.

Finally, I decided to try the svn branch 
linux-converged-for-old-kernels, copied Makefile-24 to Makefile. But 
when it compiles it will returns a couple of errors:

arm-elf-gcc -D__KERNEL__

I have also tried to apply the following patch 
http://lists.samba.org/archive/linux-cifs-client/2006-July/001427.html 
but I do not seem to find the correct source tree.

What would be the best way to proceed to have CIFS for kernel 2.4 
compiled for arm-elf.
