[Unionfs] Compiling unionfs 1.0.11 on RHEL 3

[Michael Grice]

Charles,

I did say I had the kernel source installed. :) RHEL 3 puts it in the
kernel-source RPM; there's no kernel-devel or kernel-headers packages
any more.

It turns out, however, that /lib/modules/2.4.21-27.ELsmp/build was
a broken symbolic link pointing to a non-existentent kernel source
directory. I changed it to to point to the actual kernel sources and
now all is well.

Thanks for your help,

Michael
