in the header file include/linux/scoket.h, we see the test:
#if defined(__KERNEL__) || !defined(__GLIBC__) || (__GLIBC__ < 2)
i'm curious -- why is it the kernel's job to care about the version of
glibc in userspace? i'm sure this represents the solution to some
kind of problem, but it strikes me as somewhat questionable -- kernel
headers exporting content to userspace that also does checking in
userspace.
thoughts?
