        unsigned int status;

        irq_enter();
 
 #ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW

+ long esp;

Most C compilers don't allow you to mix declarations and code.
This is allowed only in new C standards. But GCC 3 seems to cope,
so it's probably fine for new kernels.

I think #include fixes are best sent to Rusty Trivial Russell.

        Want me to add this to the trivial patch collection for tracking?
        If so just send (or cc:) it to trivial@rustcorp.com.au.

BTW, never misspell his name, he will be very upset.
He is *Russell*. Note which letters are doubled and which are not. ;)
