The problem is your heroine can't read ;)

What the README really says is to comment out _individual lines_ in
ioctls.h that are failing to compile. If you comment out the whole
file, it does compile, but you'll have lost much of the functionality!

In other words, you're absolutely right!!  I did not test anything
beyond the build phase -- just wanted to see whether you might
encounter any problems compiling it...
