What's wrong with the contents of the glibc-kernheaders package? Can you file specific bugs if you're having problems?

In the long run, the answer is to convince Linus that we _really_ need the kernel to have a set of header files defining the ABI which are fit for public consumption, rather than having a horrid mix of private and exportable bits throughout the contents of the include/ directory.

In the meantime, some poor mug has to clean the crap up and try to make something suitable to live in /usr/include/linux -- and unfortunately at the moment for Fedora that someone is me :)

Unless git is doing something with kernel-private headers that it shouldn't, this probably wants to be discussed elsewhere -- most likely in Bugzilla.
