fglrx (ATI propertary driver) can't build on kernel 4

Hi, since fglrx can't compile on linux kernel version 4 I open this bug report to report it since it is 'installable' with that kernel and I got mad understanding the error.

Since I couldn't figure out how to switch the kernel on Devuan I've done this to workaround the problem:

  1. Removed 'linux-image-64' and 'linux-headers-64', then "# apt-get autoremove --purge"
  2. Edited the sources of my '/etc/apt/sources.list' commenting Devuan's repositories and inserting Debian ones (E.G. 'deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian jessie main contrib non-free') followed by an "# apt-get update"
  3. Installed linux kernel and linux headers again ("# apt-get install linux-{image,headers}-64")
  4. Come back to the Devuan repositories and then "# apt-get update" again
  5. Blocked upgrades of the above packages with "# apt-mark hold linux-image-64; apt-mark hold linux-headers-64"
  6. Installed 'fglrx' as indicated on the Debian wiki.

Is there a way to keep the old kernel as the default on Devaun other than this one?

Thank!
