Have you looked into moving the kernel headers outside of glibc, or have
glibc using whatever is in /usr/src/linux to generate its headers,
rather than having us generate a tarball of headers? That way we won't
have to worry about the headers getting old as the linux spell (or the
user's kernel updates, if they don't use the spell) keeps them up-to-date.
