Well, my build of 4.5.99.902 didn't go very well on Linux. :(
Here is my output:

This is on a 32-bit Linux system running the shiny new 2.6.16 kernel,
gcc-4.1.0, and glibc-2.3.4. Looks like the 2.6.16 kernel changed
"unsigned long" types in the "input_device_id" struct to
kernel_ulong_t. I don't know if the XFree86 source needs to be tweaked
any to build against a 2.6.16 kernel, but I'm making everyone aware of
this anyway. :)
