If we want to go for this solution, we have to scan the archive for usage of this header file, and fix them by submitting a patch.With the hope it won't come in a middle of a transition.Speaking of which, we probably shouldn't be trying too long with kfreebsd 8.0 unless we have a plan and a timeline. The blockers you mentioned make it look like we're already on people's way. So I guess it makes sense to revert ASAP and to contact -release@ once we're ready to roll.
There is a new kfreebsd-kernel-headers with small fix prepared in SVN.
* libsdl1.2
builds fine with it
* qemu
builds fine with it
* hal
There is a new upstream release 0.5.14, the git log
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/hal/log contains lines like
2009-08-18 add USB2 support
2009-08-18 add USB2 support to the FreeBSD backend
I believe it should not be so hard to extend it for GNU/kFreeBSD.
* freeglut
It is possible to disable USB scan of joystick by hack bellow.
I would prefer to stay on headers based on 8.0.
