alsa-driver 0.9.5 no compile

[Joel Young]

Has anyone managed to get alsa to compile?

I am getting a 

serialmidi.c: In function `open_tty':
serialmidi.c:158: invalid operands to binary >
make: *** [serialmidi.o] Error 1

with gcc32 (and any other gcc)

This is:

if (tty->count > 1) {

  where tty is a tty_struct

It seems that count is supposed to be atomic_t in the kernel
but using atomic_read gives an error on the ->

Any suggestions?

Not a kernel guy, I am.
