Not true. glibc doesn't use those headers at all, it builds against the

does have some headers that don't break everything like the real kernel
headers do.


The kernel headers that applications use need to be the kernel headers that glibc is compiled against. I had thought that the glibc-kernel-headers was created so that this could be possible, as per bug 3771 (http://bugs.sourcemage.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3771).

Hope the stuff written there makes a bit of sense...
