I have just completed porting a Sun Solaris DDI device driver
to Linux, and it is working 100% correctly.

I have copied the source to another Linux machine, and I am
getting compile-time errors:

gcc -Wall -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -I/usr/src/linux-2.4/include -O -DLINUX \
       -c -o main.o main.c
In file included from /usr/src/linux-2.4/include/linux/sched.h:23,
                 from /usr/src/linux-2.4/include/linux/mm.h:4,
                 from /usr/src/linux-2.4/include/linux/slab.h:14,
                 from main.c:28:
/usr/src/linux-2.4/include/linux/smp.h:29: error: conflicting types for
        'smp_send_reschedule'
/usr/src/linux-2.4/include/asm/smp.h:65: error: previous declaration of
        'smp_send_reschedule' was here
/usr/src/linux-2.4/include/linux/smp.h:29: error: conflicting types for
        'smp_send_reschedule'
/usr/src/linux-2.4/include/asm/smp.h:65: error: previous declaration of
        'smp_send_reschedule' was here

The machine I devleoped on was a Dell 4400 running:

% uname -a
Linux Dell4400 2.4.20-20.9 #1 Mon Aug 18 11:45:58 EDT 2003 i686 i686 i386

% gcc -v

-host=i386-redhat-linux
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)

The machine I am getting errors on is of unkown manufacturer (and it's
1500 miles away from here)

[kilian@tux ~]$ uname -a
Linux tux 2.4.18-27.8.0smp #1 SMP Fri Mar 14 05:47:33 EST 2003 i686 i686 i386

Can anyone shed some light on why I'm getting this compiler error?

Thanks millions for the help.
