[PATCH] Use posix headers in sumversion.c
When compiling Linux on Mac OSX I had trouble with scripts/sumversion.c. It includes <netinet/in.h> to obtain to definitions of htonl and ntohl. On Mac OSX these are found in <arpa/inet.h>. After checking the POSIX specification it appears that this is the correct place to get the definitons for these functions. (http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/htonl.html) Using this header also appears to work on Linux (at least with Glibc-2.3.2). It seems clearer to me to go with the POSIX standard than implementing #if __APPLE__ style macros, but if such an approach is preferred I can supply patches for that instead. A patch against 2.6.7 which change <netinet/in.h> -> <arpa/inet.h> is attached. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
