The kernel.  <linux/*> are kernel headers, not part of glibc, but the
distributors appear to have muddied the waters considerably.  (So, what
else is new?)

My /usr/include/linux is a symlink into the kernel source.

It sounds as though the distributors are maintaining multiple, possibly
disparate, copies of the kernel headers.  Whether this is to ease
installations without kernel sources or because 2.6 is so thoroughly
buggered up I don't know, but it seems like a horrendously bad idea to me.
If nothing else, it occults kernel header problems, which might explain in
part why they've been so long getting fixed.

At any rate, this is getting kind of far afield.
