Ah, self-contradictory statement.
A kernel-module must be built with the EXACT SAME environment as the kernel
being run. This means they need an EXACT match of headers. The ones that are
included with glibc are generic, and will NEVER match the running kernel(even
across kernel versions, let alone flavors).
Dale, get a clue about kernel module building. You are completely wrong on
this.
