This isn't how real life works.
GLIBC itself brings in some of the kernel headers, as do various library
headers for libraries other than glibc.
So you can get these conflicting headers included indirectly, and it is
of no fault of any of the various parties involved.
We have to make them work when included at the same time somehow, and
this is totally unavoidable.
