Description Aurelien Jarno 2010-01-06 09:46:05 UTC 
On hurd, the generic <netinet/if_ether.h> is installed instead of the hurd 
specific one. This is due to this file being located in 
sysdeps/mach/hurd/net/if_ether.h instead of 
sysdeps/mach/hurd/netinet/if_ether.h.

It's a long story :)  Notice this: http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2009-01/msg00018.html  and this: http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2009-01/  Which never got any action.  sysdeps/gnu/netinet/if_ether.h would probably need a couple of fixes to better match Linux' behavior: - include net/ethernet.h and net/if_arp.h only #ifdef __USE_BSD - include net/if_ether.
