README-linux: updated to note that strace might not compile

with development kernels
bjm.c: sys_query_module: check if malloc succeeds
system.c: sys_cap[gs]et(): check if malloc succeeds, only malloc once
linux/syscallent.h: updated for 2.3.99pre3
linux/alpha/syscallent.h: updated for 2.3.99pre3, add all osf syscalls
even though Linux doesn't implement them
syscall.c: add global variables for MIPS registers as well
syscall.c: move global variables to before get_scno since that uses them
util.c: oops, misspelled defined
process.c: fix ptrace calls in change_syscall
mem.c: decode sys_madvise
Merge patch from Topi Miettinen <Topi.Miettinen@nic.fi>
+ add support for quotactl, fdatasync, mlock, mlockall, munlockall & acct
+ small fix for RLIMIT_* and RUSAGE_BOTH
+ enhace support for capget and capset

 to run on Linux systems.  Since then it has been greatly modified
 by various other people.
 
-If you want to compile strace on a Linux system please make sure
-that you use very recent kernel headers. Strace needs those to get
-the proper data structures used by the kernel, since these can be
-different from the structures that the C library uses. Currently
-you will need a 2.2.7 or newer kernel.
+If you want to compile strace on a Linux system please make sure that

-There are two ways to do this:
-* you can link /usr/include/linux and /usr/include/asm to the corresponding
-  directories in your kernel source-tree.
+To complicate things a bit further strace might not compile if you are
+using development kernels. These tend to have headers that conflict with
+the headers from libc which makes it impossible to use them.
 
-* you can tell make where your kernel sources are. For example if you have your
-  kernelsource in /usr/src/linux, you should invoke make like this:
+There are three ways to compile strace with other kernel headers:
+* Specify the location in CFLAGS when running configure
 
-     make CFLAGS=-I/usr/src/linux/include
+     CFLAGS=-I/usr/src/linux/include ./configure
+
+* you can tell make where your kernel sources are. For example if you
+  have your kernelsource in /usr/src/linux, you can invoke make like
+  this:
+
+     make CFLAGS="\$CFLAGS -I/usr/src/linux/include"
+
+  (the extra \$CFLAGS is there to make sure we don't override any CFLAGS
+  settings that configure has found).
