Well, if you say so... I know it was in unstable at least, shortly after
kernel 2.6 was introduced.
Either way, can you see any technical reasons why that would not make a good
stop-gap solution for inotify etc. support?
It was good enough for LFS-6

In chapter 6 glibc was configured --with-headers=/tools/glibc-kernheaders
Gnome-vfs checks for sys/inotify.h (which comes from glibc) and
linux/inotify.h (which comes from the kernel). If we do it the way
you're suggesting it would find sys/inotify.h but not linux/inotify.h so
it may work or it may not. I think it's worth a try at the very least.
