Thank you for pointing out the exact problem sinc Kernel hacking isn't my 
thing at the moment.

This suggests a better HACK.  Put this Kernel-2.4.21 header in: 
"kdemultimedia/asm" and make s slight change in it:

	#if defined(__GNUC__)
	typedef __signed__ long long __s64;
	typedef unsigned long long __u64;
	#endi

WARNING: I haven't tried this yet.
