Most of my system works fine after compiling glibc against whichever kernel
headers I'm going to be using (2.6.0-test10 currently). I'd say compiling
glibc
should be enough, at least until we figure out how to get everything working
happily together. ;)

IMO, it's the userspace authors who are in the wrong. If someone says, "Don't
do
foo with our package, or it'll break", and then someone does "foo" and says
it's the author's fault that things fail, are complete morons (again, IMO).
The
userspace authors need to get their arses in gear and either say that they
won't support 2.6 (big mistake, as it's awesome!) or get cracking on either
updating to use either 2.6 or 2.4 headers, or just include the headers they
need, as the kernel people have told them (numerous times and numerous flame
wars) to do. If you're going to use someone's package, you may want to use it
in the way they will say will work best, otherwise there's no room for you to
complain.
