When building 'make LIB=libext2fs' with the current Genode staging branch, the following error occurs:

[ttcoder]

I don't have the code handy, but I think I "solved" that one by removing the typedef, and replacing it with ...

#include <sys/types>

...So that the proper definition is used instead.

But since this is in contrib/, the thing to do is probably to create a .patch file (to be applied by tools/prepare_port) rather than change the code by hand ?

Problem was fixed (see #199).
