How did the 2.6 kernel headers get so screwed up?

[tom_gall at mac.com]

I've seen the same. Just trying building mac-fdisk against the 2.6
kernel headers. Absolutely an uphill battle.

Even glibc wasn't building (ppc64) for a bit there against some
versions of the 2.6 kernel headers.

Fun fun fun. NOT!
