Pretty darn certain. Upstream's build process just copies the header
files out of the source code into a single directory at "make install"
time. They are part of the source tree, not auto-generated. Not even
any of the #ifdefs are arch-dependent, unless you count #ifdef WIN32
which I think can be safely ignored :-)
