You don't understand quite what Linus is saying here, right? Linus essentially says: "Why does glibc depend on external kernel headers rather than including them with glibc itself". Now that is *exactly* what Debian does. Debian in fact is the only distro that gets it right the way Linus wants. Linus says: >The user-space library header files have to match the LIBRARY, not the >kernel. Which is right. That is why libc6-dev comes with copies of a known stable kernel against which libc6 itself was built. Linus also says: >If the glibc people cannot figure out how "cp" works, maybe somebody >should tell them. Symlinks are a maintenance nightmare So that *last* thing you should do is to make /usr/include/linux and /usr/include/asm symlinks. >[And, since Ulrich was on the Cc: >list, hopefully this means that the fix is already done?] Well, people have been bickering over this for 3 years now, I doubt that the glibc developers will magically fix it overnight Mike. -- The From: and Reply-To: addresses are internal news2mail gateway addresses.
