Slack7.1/linux.2.4 compile error: storage size of `semun' isn't known

Long Description
Hi,
I have a the following error compiling latest CVS of PostgreSQL:

ipc.c: In function `IPCPrivateSemaphoreKill':
ipc.c:246: storage size of `semun' isn't known
ipc.c:246: warning: unused variable `semun'

From /usr/include/linux/sem.h:

union semun {
int val; /* value for SETVAL */
struct semid_ds *buf; /* buffer for IPC_STAT & IPC_SET */
unsigned short *array; /* array for GETALL & SETALL */
struct seminfo *__buf; /* buffer for IPC_INFO */
void *__pad; 
};

Removing "void *__pad;" from the above makes the compile finish.

Slackware 7.1
