EDEADLOCK should be in /usr/include/errno.h (actually I think its 
asm/errno.h) so should not need to be defined by the dlm headers.

That's quite probable, those are kernel modules written some
time ago. If you can be bothered to manually hook them into 
the kernel build system I think locktest.c should work. I might
get some time to fix the makefiles and old bits fixed in those but
it's not a priority.
 
I suspect pingtest only works on VMS by now :-)
