Summary:                    [patch] RHEL/Centos 5.2: xpp/xdefs.h:117: error:
conflicting types for ‘bool’
Description: 
The kernel included in RHEL 5.2 and thus also in Centos 5.2 backported a
feature from kernel 2.6.19: the type "bool".

The xpp driver used a "bool" type of its own even before definition. Hence
it only adds that typedef for kernel versions that should not have it
already:

kernel/xpp/xdefs.h:

#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,19)
typedef int                     bool;
#endif

Thus we get the following error:

  CC [M]  /usr/src/zaptel-1.4.11/kernel/xpp/card_fxo.o
In file included from /usr/src/zaptel-1.4.11/kernel/xpp/xpd.h:26,

Simple workaround for that specific case: avoid that typedef:
                                } while(0);

 #if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,19)
-typedef int                    bool;
+//typedef int                  bool;
 #endif
 #else
 typedef int                    bool;
