Hi!
The attached script implements a warning in Linux headers to prevent that
userland applications include them directly.
Patching Glibc cannot be easily automated and requires a long, but boring
task. I'll send the corresponding changes for Glibc when this patch script
is confirmed.
This may cause some breakage, so not to be applied before Sarge release..

I think it's time to close this bug rathar than to keep opening. If
you plan to fix it, please let me know. However it's a hard task, and
the submitter does not have any intension to fix lkh seen from the
last mail, so I close this bug. If you disagree with this closing, I
hope you put another (probably a lot of) patches to lkh.
