Even those headers which are exported are _still_ kernel headers¹. The 'caveat emptor' principle still applies to them, and we don't have to be _that_ anal about it. GNU extensions (and proper C types, for that matter) should be acceptable, surely? -- dwmw2 ¹ well, except perhaps for the very few headers which get included directly by glibc's headers, but aren't we still pretending that doesn't happen? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-s390" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
