Unfortunately no:
cc -Wall -c -nostdinc -I /usr/lib/gcc/i586-linux-gnu/5/include -I /usr/lib/gcc/i 586-linux-gnu/5/include-fixed -I . -I ../headers_compile_test_include -I ../head ers_compile_test_include/i586-linux-gnu ./asm/sigcontext32.c In file included from ./asm/sigcontext32.c:1:0: ./asm/sigcontext32.h:12:8: error: redefinition of ‘struct _fpreg’ struct _fpreg { ^ In file included from ./asm/sigcontext32.h:6:0, from ./asm/sigcontext32.c:1: ./asm/sigcontext.h:56:8: note: originally defined here struct _fpreg { ^ In file included from ./asm/sigcontext32.c:1:0: ./asm/sigcontext32.h:17:8: error: redefinition of ‘struct _fpxreg’ struct _fpxreg { ^ In file included from ./asm/sigcontext32.h:6:0, from ./asm/sigcontext32.c:1: ./asm/sigcontext.h:61:8: note: originally defined here struct _fpxreg { ^ In file included from ./asm/sigcontext32.c:1:0: ./asm/sigcontext32.h:23:8: error: redefinition of ‘struct _xmmreg’ struct _xmmreg { ^ In file included from ./asm/sigcontext32.h:6:0, from ./asm/sigcontext32.c:1: ./asm/sigcontext.h:67:8: note: originally defined here struct _xmmreg { ^ FAILED: ./asm/sigcontext32.h
I guess this was the reason why I ended with the hack.
