Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII X-Net-Direct-Inc-MailScanner-Information: Please contact the ISP for more information X-Net-Direct-Inc-MailScanner: Found to be clean X-Net-Direct-Inc-MailScanner-SpamCheck: not spam, SpamAssassin (not cached, score=-16.8, required 5, autolearn=not spam, ALL_TRUSTED -1.80, BAYES_00 -15.00) X-Net-Direct-Inc-MailScanner-From: rpjday@mindspring.com Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org i noticed that, when i generate the sanitized headers with "make headers_install", there are still a number of headers files that are installed with variations on "#ifdef __KERNEL__". i always thought the fundamental property of sanitized headers was to be compatible with glibc and have no traces of "KERNEL" content left. so what's the purpose of leaving some header files with that preprocessor content? thanks. rday
