I don't understand why people write such documentation without contacting the glibc developers first. I've never seen such a request from anybody regarding the scsi subdirectory.
Instead of writing such lines, it would be better to try to find a general solution. I kindly ask the author of this docu to get in contact with me and tell me exactly the existing problems so that we can fix this in glibc.
