Summary:                    inotify header file prevents Asterisk from compiling
Description: 
Here is the error I get :

   [CC] stdtime/localtime.c -> stdtime/localtime.o
stdtime/localtime.c: In function âadd_notifyâ:
stdtime/localtime.c:313: error: âIN_DONT_FOLLOWâ undeclared (first use
in this function)
stdtime/localtime.c:313: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported
only once
stdtime/localtime.c:313: error: for each function it appears in.)
make[1]: *** [stdtime/localtime.o] Error 1
make: *** [main] Error 2

My /usr/include/sys/inotify.h file (included in stdtime/localtime.c and
checked by the configure script) doesn't mention IN_DONT_FOLLOW. However,
/usr/include/linux/inotify.h mentions it, and Asterisk compiles properly if
I include the latter instead.

I suspected I had some packages improperly installed, but both files come
from my glibc-devel package :
[root at media trunk-commit]# rpmquery -f /usr/include/sys/inotify.h 
glibc-devel-2.4-7mdv2007.0
[root at media trunk-commit]# rpmquery -f /usr/include/linux/inotify.h 
glibc-devel-2.4-7mdv2007.0
[root at media trunk-commit]#

Interesting. You're using glibc 2.4, but the man page for inotify claims
that IN_DONT_FOLLOW was added in glibc 2.5. This is probably why simply
including sys/inotify.h is not working properly.

I'm assigning this to tilghman since he has the most experience working
with inotify.
