With headers installed from Linus's latest tree, I retried (for x86_64)
the case of a source file containing the single line
#include <linux/elfcore.h>
which (as previously discussed, and Arnd had an RFC patch) I want to use
in a glibc test of header consistency. It gives errors "unknown type name
'elf_greg_t'" etc. (for lots more types as well) - but even before getting
onto those errors, there's
asm/signal.h:127:2: error: unknown type name 'size_t'
from a header included from linux/elfcore.h. So this doesn't seem to be
working as I'd expect yet.
