            Bug ID: 17399
           Summary: glibc headers should be cleaned up to depend only on
                    _LIBC, _LIBC_TEST etc.
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.20
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: libc
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org

glibc headers should only depend on a small number of defines to enable
internal behaviour, for example _LIBC and _LIBC_TEST, rather than depending on
internal include guard symbols or similar, for example in:

sysdeps/powerpc/bits/hwcap.h:

#if !defined(_SYS_AUXV_H) && !defined(_SYSDEPS_SYSDEP_H)
# error "Never include <bits/hwcap.h> directly; use <sys/auxv.h> instead."
#endif

sysdep.h is an internal header in this case.
