A good reason not to set up glibc to do this now is that 2.6 kernels don't
work ... haha just kidding.
AFAIK the intention is to ASK(firmly) if the user wants to copy the current
kernel headers to /usr/include during glibc CONFIGURE so I guess a warning
for 2.6.0 would be in order and those living on the cutting edge will have to
manually manage their symlinks until kernel and userspace developers come to
some arrangement.
just double checking, is it only these three symlink destinations or have I
missed something ?
/usr/include/asm -> ../src/linux/include/asm-i386
/usr/include/asm-generic -> ../src/linux/include/asm-generic
/usr/include/linux -> ../src/linux/include/linux

and specifically what files should be checked for, modversions.h and
autoconf.h ? any others ? It would be a shame to copy unconfigured headers
somehow so those *generated* files should be checked for too.
