usability of linux/ftape-header-segment.h

[Jean-Louis Martineau]

Hi,

redhat 9
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.57
automake (GNU automake) 1.6.3
gcc (GCC) 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)
kernel 2.4.20-9

My configure.in script contain:
AC_CHECK_HEADERS(linux/ftape-header-segment.h)

I get this when I run the configure script:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
checking linux/ftape-header-segment.h usability... no
checking linux/ftape-header-segment.h presence... yes
configure: WARNING: linux/ftape-header-segment.h: present but cannot
be compiled
configure: WARNING: linux/ftape-header-segment.h: check for missing
prerequisite headers?
configure: WARNING: linux/ftape-header-segment.h: proceeding with
the preprocessor's result
configure: WARNING:     ## ------------------------------------ ##
configure: WARNING:     ## Report this to address@hidden ##
configure: WARNING:     ## ------------------------------------ ##
checking for linux/ftape-header-segment.h... yes

I get this on config.log:
