Start using serious arguments please. If you had any inkling, you'd have caught on by now that using kernel headers in userspace programs has been deprecated for about six years. They don't compile in userspace because it's not supported. Phased out, outmoded, obsolete, passe, renounced, defunct, disused, abandoned. The plumage doesn't enter into it. It's stone dead. -- Mathematics is the supreme nostalgia of our time.
