+*** Compiling on GNU/Linux fails due to a missing left operand in gnu-linux.h.
+
+The error messages have the form:
+
+  ../src/s/gnu-linux.h:49:24: error: operator '>' has no left operand
+
+This error occurs because your system defines LINUX_VERSION_CODE in
+the standard header file linux/version.h but does not give it a value.
+As a workaround, you can edit the file src/s/gnu-linux.h to add the
+needed definition.  On the line after "#include <linux/version.h>",
+add a line as shown below:
+
+#include <linux/version.h>
+#define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 132626
+
+The number to use depends on your kernel version (the example shown is
+for kernel 2.6.18).  The number can be obtained by running the
+following command in the shell:
+
+uname -r | sed -e 's/\./ /g' -e 's/-.*//' | awk '{print $1*(2^16) + $2*(2^8) + 
$3}'
