That doesn't make sense to me.  vm.h is a src file.  My src files are 
updated daily.  Even if I rebuilt the kernel (this one has been recompiled 
twelve times already), the src files wouldn't change.  The build error is 
complaining about not being able to find the header file for (I'm 
assuming) my architecture, not for some binary compiled during the kernel 
build.

Are you saying you rebuilt kernel and lsof built fine afterwards?

Paul Schmehl, If it isn't already
obvious, my opinions are my own
and not those of my employer.
