I did that (only a question of adding casts into some error print
statements) ..  I was able to confirm that everything compiles, but no
more, since enbd 2.4.33 only has a chance of compiling up till kernel
2.6.15.x (x maximal) due to profound kernel changes after that and I am
running 2.6.20 on my amd64 machine (I could make the changes necessary
to compile under later kernels in enbd 2.4.33 but only at risk of
destabilizing, so I didn't).

Enbd 2.4.34pre compiles and runs fine on kernels up to at least
2.6.20.x. Be encouraged to use it and report anything untoward to me.
