Oh, and women don't fall for the "I hack kernel stuff" line. I was lied to.

Whither sanitized kernel headers?

Posted Mar 16, 2006 21:29 UTC (Thu) by dank (subscriber, #1865) [Link]

I'd been relying on Mariusz's sanitized kernel headers
when building toolchains. (The normal kernel headers
aren't really intended for use in userspace, and
cause all sorts of compilation problems, so a sanitized
set is kind of a must.)

So now what? I'd like to see the linux-libc-headers
project continue, possibly hosted on kernel.org,
since it's so useful for toolchain builders.
Nigel Kukard has volunteered to help organize the
effort, so there's hope.

Of course, it'd be better if the sanitized headers could
be maintained in the kernel tree...

Because he said the line wrong!
"I hack GUN/Linux kernel stuff"
Women know the right way to refer to THE kernel.
