Subject: linux/a.out.h is not exported to userspace

Hi,

Looking for a compile failure for a package on uclibc system using
kernel-headers from 2.6.25 I found that linux/a.out.h is no more
exported to userland anymore.

This commit below has disabled it from being exported. The commit Do not
export asm/page.h during make headers_install so I was wondering if it
was intended to unexport linux/a.out.h or not.

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=ed7b1889da256977574663689b598d88950bbd23

Looking at the patch from lkml post

http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2007-10/msg08913.html

second hunk to include/linux/Kbuild was not applied which caused this
problem.

I think I do not fall into Signed-off-by definition. I tested the
following patch on 2.6.25.

Thanks
