First, thanks to the work so far to all involved.

Yes, LLH fails that criteria and it ships with a lot of kernel-only stuff. Based on Jim's script I've written an extended version which removes a lot of headers that shouldn't be part of the linux glibc header set, AFAICT. My script structure is slightly different due to performance (still very slow as it "seds" alot) and distro reasons. Using that script on a patched 2.6.16-rc6, I've managed to get every header compilable by itself (without -ansi but with -Werror) on x86 and x86_64 system with gcc 4.1 and glibc 2.4. I'll probably use this for my distro (paldo.org) as soon as possible, so I'll keep the script up-to-date with the kernel. If there is interest, I could create tarballs and update them a bit quicker than LLH ;) but I can't provide anything asm- besides i386 and x86_64 (no real machines available and no time to do it without them). TODO: * Verify headers with real applications Will do a full distro (800 packages) recompilation with these headers sometime this week and fix headers resp. applications as necessary * Check whether the kernel patch has some superfluous include lines * Add more __KERNEL__ ifdefs around function declarations and internal structures and submit patches upstream * Check for [us](8|16|32|64) userspace leaks and submit patches upstream * Recheck set of installed headers (add missing kernel-only headers to remove list, remove accidentally added headers from remove list) * Add support for other architectures Regards, Jürg
