I've not tested if it's impossible in this very case, however: if any host
header includes kernel headers on the host, and we include it from a
kernelspace file, we run into trouble.
So, defining away like you do above every and each identifier present in every
possible versions of glibc / kernel headers would indeed work. Is this still
a solution?
So, we cut the problem by excluding the unusable headers from the compiler
search path. arch/um/include are includable everywhere, /usr/include from
userspace files, <currentTreeRoot>/include/{asm,linux,*}/ from kernelspace
only.
If you really come up with a general solution, let us know. Please. Thanks for
you effort anyway.
