Well then that's a problem, because we need to make sure everything in
Debian that could be combined is compiled with the these same things,
otherwise, there is a lot of room for nasty bugs.
In any case, changing the order of two header files doesn't seem
offhand like the sort of thing that would go about changing the system
definitions. That's poor modularity, in my opinion, because neither
Apache nor Python, Tcl or anything else but libc6 owns the stuff in
include/sys/.
