[Click] kernel patch issue

[Bob Keyes]

Trying to get click linuxmodule to compile, cross from x86 to mipsel. Got
the kernel patches installed, but having lots of problems with the
linuxmodule itself. Solved some by linking header files, but then I run
across the errors below. I can see that the kernel patch touches system.h,
removing the extern and then changing a variable from 'new' to 'n'. What
are the reasons for the variable name change, and could it be causing the
errors I am seeing?

Kernel: 2.6.13.2
