MTD files MIA, and strange permission failure

Found that even though a root owned file and path are set for full access by
anyone, touch still won't work. Did chgrp and chown, and that part now
compiles. But now that I'm in fs/jffs I'm getting the following:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In file included from jffs_fm.c:22:

Files that were previously reported as missing ( cfi_jedec.c and mapped.h )
didn't seem to effect the mtd compilation. But now that we're in the fs we
get the above. Can't find a linux/completion.h anywhere. Is this particular
to a distribution? We appear to be using a MIPS port of RedHat 7.0. Console
comes up showing:

Red Hat Linux release 7.0 (MIPS)
Kernel 2.4.6 on a mips

Any pointers appreciated...
