Slack7.1/linux.2.4 compile error: storage size of `semun' isn't known

Long Description
Hi,
I have a the following error compiling latest CVS of PostgreSQL:

ipc.c:246: storage size of `semun' isn't known

From /usr/include/linux/sem.h:

 union semun {
   int val;                     /* value for SETVAL */
   struct semid_ds *buf;        /* buffer for IPC_STAT & IPC_SET */
   unsigned short *array;       /* array for GETALL & SETALL */
   struct seminfo *__buf;       /* buffer for IPC_INFO */
   void *__pad; 
 };


Removing "void *__pad;" from the above makes the compile finish.
