Sorry about that, the "bug" in glibc I was referring to appears to have been fixed. A while ago, building on powerpc would fail if you had either -sparc headers or multiple kernel header packages installed. To me, the real bug is having N kernel header packages. I'm assuming that they all describe the same binary kernel interface, otherwise packages are forced depend on a particular type of kernel header. And if they all describe the same binary kernel interface, why do we need N of them? dave...
