This is very odd. I have a driver that builds properly on OBS. I have
also rebuilt it many times on my local system. It still compiles on OBS,
but no longer compiles on my system. It (local system compile) makes the
same argument about stdarg.h, which is referenced
in /usr/src/linux-2.6.31.12-0.2/include/linux/kernel.h

I use stdarg.h in local non-kernel programs and it works fine. So, why
is the kernel module compile not finding this file?
