 I see.  But I have proposed an alternative solution, which is simpler and 
completely contained in the build scripts, that is no code gets changed.  
This may be a good alternative approach -- does glibc have to support 
building using obsolete Linux headers?  I don't think requiring recent 
headers for building is unjustified, at least for a reasonable definition 
of "recent" and 2.6.4 is over a year old, so it should fit.  It's not 
going to affect running the resulting library -- it will still work with 
older versions of Linux.
