Thats intentional.

You want a newer glibc basically (or for specific cases just fix the headers) The point is that glibc<->app and kernel<->glibc do not match. Eg glibc had 32bit uid_t well before the kernel did - as a result moving the kernel to 32bit uid has been almost painless. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
