You yourself introduce this problem in patch #1.

The code before patch #1 was perfectly fine, as this code block only
existing in an area protected by __GLIBC__.

So you have to redo these patches such that you deal with all of
the fallout from changing __GLIBC__ into !__KERNEL__ at the same
time that you make that change.

Thanks.
