OK I found it googling a bit. This is a bug in libc6-dev Debian
package concerning usb.h. To fix it one has to comment
  #ifdef __KERNEL__
in "mod_devicetable.h and add the following include to "usbdevice_fs.h"
  #include <linux/compiler.h>

This is incredible. I do not like running unstable, but I just did it to have
KDE 3.2 from the CVS. I am compiling right not KStars.

Pablo.
