Until someone addresses this issue with a permanent fix, is there 
another choice? How can any userspace library that needs to issue 
syscalls compile against the existing sysctl.h without this change? I'm 
open to suggestions, obviously this was a quick and dirty fix (copied 
from other existing headers in .../linux already, which is certainly no 
excuse).
