linux/mm.h breaks memset()

With both 1.3.32 and 1.3.18 this program fails to build with the errors
shown:

#include <linux/mm.h>

main () {
int a;

memset(&a, sizeof(a), 0);
}

---


bash# gcc -o t t.c
/tmp/cca019061.o: In function `main':
t.c:0: undefined reference to `__constant_c_memset'
t.c:0: undefined reference to `__memset'
/tmp/cca019061.o(.lita+0x8): undefined reference to `__constant_c_memset'
/tmp/cca019061.o(.lita+0x10): undefined reference to `__memset'


Something in the kernel header files (asm/string.h?) is breaking this. Any
ideas on how to fix it?
