No idea how to get it to work correctly if compiled with 2.6 headers,
but if you just want it working locally, cast -r glibc-kernel-headers,
choose 2.4 headers, cast dosfstools, then switch back to 2.6 headers.

Maybe we should just patch the spell to include the relevant headers
from 2.4, shouldn't be too many.
