David, did you mean to say "... in having glibc not provide ..."?
                                                ^^^
I notice that the *_module(2) man pages which advocate the use of
#include <linux/module.h> are installed as part of the modutils
package.  Is is possibly "modutils" that should provide the header
file that avoids sucking in the possibly problematic kernel-only
code.
