I don't see why not.
The only differences with glibc headers that I can see:
- glic adds #include <features.h> on top of each header
- glibc has old SCSI_IOCTL_TAGGED_ENABLE/SCSI_IOCTL_TAGGED_DISABLE

Probably just talk to Ulrich or other glibc developers.
If there's some symbol that's missing, we can always add it.
