Part 2: patch to linux kernel headers to not declare the conflicting types if not compiling kernel mode stuff:
I'm definitely not going to apply this. If someone wants to get the user API types from the kernel headers they very much are allowed to do so if they are careful.
We don't gain anything by disallowing this completely.
I suppose we could surround the types in question with
#ifndef KLUDGE_GLIBC_ALREADY_DEFINED_IPV6_TYPES ... #endif
instead of #ifdef __KERNEL__. That would let glibc include those headers... would that be acceptable?
