Wow, alright, after an all-nighter, I was able to get timerfd.so compiled in
Asterisk 1.8.2.2 under Debian Lenny 5.0.7 with Kernel 2.6.26-2-amd64. Of
course, due to the glibc requirement of 2.8+, a lot of dodgey upgrades had
to be performed. I have no idea how "stable" this is going to be in
production but I am going to write a quick "How-To" and stick it on the Wiki
if someone can point me to the correct location this should go to. A lot of
components needs to get upgraded in the correct order to have this work
well, but it might save someone else the time and effort. Will respond to
this email again, with the link to the Wiki page once I am done with the
HowTo and people tell me where it needs to go.

Cheers,
\RR
