Functionality that is subject to change between kernel versions and between distributions. Further more, better to take this up with upstream kernel. The linux-libc-dev package is created using "make headers_install" from the kernel tree. So the headers produced are the ones they want exported. It's not my decision. -- Ubuntu: http://www.ubuntu.com/ Linux1394: http://www.linux1394.org/ -- asm/bitops.h not included in linux-libc-dev https://launchpad.net/bugs/94641 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
