@Dan,Alex: Why are you using sanitized headers anyway, other than that it is probably ideologically nicer, smaller, etc. towards the apps? I'm only using regular headers and never ran into serious problems.

There are a few apps that don't compile properly with regular kernel headers. IMHO the right thing to do is fix the regular kernel source; usually it's fairly simple.

(like maybe generic scsi and ext2? I don't recall exactly.)

If you do recall, or happen to run into any of those issues again, will you drop me a line, please? I do recall certain peculiarities with very low level tools, but nothing ever made me even remotely consider using modified kernel headers. I would like to make sure nothing slipped my attention.


Regards,
