Then we should fix the broken headers so that it is guaranteed. That's quite trivial, isn't it?
I don't really understand why it's that important to duplicate definitions from kernel headers in libc ones. IMHO glibc headers should include kernel headers instead of defining things which are already defined by the kernel and used on kernel-user interface.
Duplicate definitions should IMHO be removed from glibc headers. -- Krzysztof Halasa, B*FH - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
