First, we can't use linux/list.h because it can't be included from userspace. Second, it would not be convenient for those that use kconfig outside the Linux kernel (thiord-party projects, eg. buildroot, uClibc, busybox...): http://marc.info/?l=linux-kbuild&m=135065985609068&w=2 Also, this patch of mine is deprecated; Benjamin has posted another patch which makes use of a stripped-down list.h, partially copied from linux/list.h: http://marc.info/?t=135081179500001&r=1&w=4 Regards, Yann E.
