Comment out which line? Line 8 of include/linux/sysinfo.h or the new #include
line?

Also, what arch are you compiling for?

My Aboriginal Linux project does arm, mips, powerpc, sparc, sh4, x86, x86_64, m68k, and I'm poking at adding alpha.

I believe the uClibc build breaks in a target-independent manner. I just rebuilt armv5l without the patch to confirm:
