Re: GLIBC 2.0.5c changes...
Some regression is quite possible. What I can say is that libc6.1*
packages were built from the official Debian glibc-2.0.5c source package
without any modifications. I only performed some basic tests before
uploading it.
What strikes me is that kernel headers are included in the libc
development package. What happened to the package `kernel-headers'?
With 2.0.x even non-asm kernel headers are different on different hardware
platforms. I may have missed the integration of kernel-headers into
glibc, but I don't recollect any talks on this topic. Does anybody know
how and why it happened?
Anyway, I think at the moment we'd be better off with symlinks into
/usr/src/linux, until we figure out how to make an architecture specific
kernel-headers package. Although this approach may break some
compilations (requiring simple workarounds in kernel headers - I hate it
as much as everyone else here), it ensures that we interface with the
kernel correctly.
Mike, where are your /usr/include/{linux,asm,scsi} from?
