Guessing a bit, it looks like kermit is using a private variable _cnt,
and GNU/Linux either doesn't have this or is (quite reasonably) hiding
it.  The fix is perhaps to #ifndef linux that.

I would also look at the upstream code and bug tracker, and the packages
for various GNU/Linux  distribution to see if they are patching for
this, or if there is something else going on.
