Well, it's supposed to.  I mentioned this back in December[1], and you
told me it was in ../common then too.  It's not.  That's the problem.

IIRC, it's defined in the internal CVS version, but not in the public.
Nasrat helped figure that out.  I haven't tried to do a CVS kernel
compile lately, but I'm surprised this hasn't been fixed yet.
