2.2.6-1/-2 problems with FAT fs

Don't know if this has been noticed yet but I'm hoping this gets to
Mr. Alan Cox or one of you other smart people to fix. When I compile
either of the pre-patches for the *.6 kernel _with_ FAT file systems
supported, it compiles (make dep) fine, but I get the following errors
when making a zImage or a bzImage:

make -C fat

It seems to me like this may be a `simple' fix around line 369 of
inode.c but I'll leave that up to you crafty code guys.
Thanks for your time!
