I'd vote for another solution: shouldn't we just get rid of
all <asm/ and <linux/ includes in the exported /usr/include glibc headers?
If I count well, there are 35 of them at the moment on i386.
I think glibc should only use kernel headers in its private non-exported
headers.
What do others think? It would also make Linus happy among other things.
If there is some agreement, I'll try to devote some afternoon to it...
