No, it is right, even for kernel-using daemons. You have to copy
the relevant data you need from the kernel header file to a local
one. I think this is the only point where Linus and Uli Drepper
agree about.
Only if you have a kernel module you must use kernel header files
and no glibc header files.

Linux is like a Vorlon. It is incredibly powerful, gives terse,
cryptic answers and has a lot of things going on in the background.
