I wasn't aware of your change, but I was about to send this to fix the case when glibc <time.h> is included before <linux/time.h>: https://github.com/mcfrisk/linux/commit/f3952a27b8a21c6478d26e6246055383483f6a66 but you also ran into problems where <linux/time.h> is included before <time.h> which need fixes in libc header side. So how to proceed with these? I don't like leaving a few dozen non-compiling header files into uapi. -Mikko
