That's all fine. HAL requires that you have kernel headers more recent
than September 2005. It's usual for a project like HAL, that relies on
kernel details:
  http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=3905ec4561b7b049e9c2e27311d072c356dbdee2

We should not try to work around such issues, just use a recent system,
you will need it for other reasons too.
