Is this going to get _merged_ upstream, or was it just posted to LKML? I didn't see any discussion of it there. Cheers, Karl P

I didn't see any discussion of it there. not sure if *all* related patches can be removed because some packages do very nasty stuff, but this at least fixes those not doing define/include witchcraft. also, here I'm only patching 3.18 and will 4.0 need similar love. this patch is happily used by openembedded and sabotage linux, but it might take a while upstream decides to take it into consideration... it's not that they enjoy becoming part of libc wars. but they did at least replace the #ifdef __GLIBC__ with a #ifndef __KERNEL__ in libc-compat.h, and that's something :) cheers, Alejandro Mery

I plan to resubmit them myself when the merge window closes, in the hope to eventually have them included upstream. The original submission seems to have missed the right mailing lists and was whitespace broken, which probably caused it to be ignored / overlooked. Of course this still requires libc headers before kernel headers, but at least that order should now work. Jonas
