Yes that's the one.

I believe the problem exists somewhere with the module I was trying to
compile also. When I download the saa7134-stable branch (which was merged
into the linuxtv.org tree) I get the same errors.

I found a thread here on linux-media mailing list:
http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@vger.kernel.org/msg06865.html

But there is no resolution and I cannot seem to have make realize I have the
full source installed.
