Problems compiling kernel 2.6.31

[surreal]

I am getting some problems while compiling kernel 2.6.31 using Debian Lenny make-kpkg

The messages are -

Google this error message:

> lguest.c:21:25: error: sys/eventfd.h: No such file or directory

and the first link [1] has a solution:

"Below “Virtualization” unselect “Linux hypervisor example code” or if
you need lguest you can also fix the compilation error by removing
“#include <sys /eventfd.h>” (line 21) from lguest.c."
