Thanks for the link to the thread.  So, I guess the patch submitted by
the thread starter was rejected?

Your message refers to using kernel headers when building glibc.  Why
would that be the issue for me since I haven't touched glibc since I
first installed it, which was after it first came out?  Is the idea
being when I upgraded to glibc-2.3, it used kernel headers *back then*
so each subsequent upgrade continued to do so?

Peace...

Tom
