I'm pretty sure SP2 is the current SLES9 release.
Likely it will have compile issues in a similar/same way.
I haven't tried.  I've not had time yet to integrated perftests

In the past, I've just redirected /usr/include/asm to point
at the "raw" linux kernel header files. I haven't needed to
do that in quite a while though.

And this is open source. Folks can still add new arches
if asm/timex.h doesn't work for them.
