Thanks. And sorry for my overreaction - I've been having a bad week.
Anyway, I'd be _really_ much happier if [g]libc only used the really basic
header files: things like "asm/posix-types.h", "asm/errno.h" etc are
obviously fine to use from the kernel, but at the same time I'd be even
happier if glibc was compilable even if you didn't have any kernel sources
at all.
