No, the checks use the includes under the kernel source tree.  Note the 
"-nostdinc" option in the gcc command below.

Can you show us the source of that configure test in 
src/cf/linux-test4.m4, just to make sure it's what we expect?

There are several things that don't make sense here:
a) If init_pid_ns is not defined in your kernel, you would get an error 
in the modpost above.
b) If it is defined, it is GPL only, and you would also get an error in 
the modpost above.
c) init_pid_ns should be in your kernel anyway - I don't think it can be 
configured away by any kernel config option.  It is certainly there with 
the default Fedora .config.

Out of curiosity I built 2.6.26.3-29.fc9 locally and the configure test 
(from current 1.4x CVS) gives me:

/s/openafs/1_4_x/conftest.dir/conftest.c: In function 'conftest':
/s/openafs/1_4_x/conftest.dir/conftest.c:30: warning: 'p' is used 
uninitialized in this function
FATAL: modpost: GPL-incompatible module conftest.ko uses GPL-only symbol 
'init_pid_ns'
make[1]: *** [__modpost] Error 1
make: *** [modules] Error 2

.. which is what I expected, and the test for find_task_pid fails.
