[klibc] [PATCH] Get klibc building under post-2.5.68 kernels

Recent BK kernels break the klibc build, because of proliferating use of
u8, u16, and friends.  The particular offender in this case is
include/asm/system.h, which uses u8 in the new alt_instr struct.

This patch "fixes" the breakage, albeit gracelessly.  I'm agnostic on
whether it's the Right Thing.  It might be saner to simply have a series
of definitions, of the form:

typedef __u8 u8;

However, this is prone to creeping breakage as the kernel leaks more
data types into klibc's view.
