Right now, glibc is special-cased. glibc also tends to be very
deliberate about its kernel header inclusions. It wants a subset of the
available defines, so it can include a subset header.
The reverse is definitely possible too -- all other users (kernel,
newlib, dietlibc, uclibc, and klibc) can change and leave the current
state for glibc.
We can special-case the kernel in the above case, but that would involve
some additional ugliness.
Just to clarify: I don't have any strong opinions for any particular
option -- I'm fine with either. I'd just like to get rid of the
ugliness of having #defines for any particular user spaces, and I'd
prefer two include files over feature test macros.
