[klibc] version compatibility between linux and klibc

[Phil Howard]

Are there any version compatibilities between linux and klibc?  I tried to
compile the latest klibc (1.5.18) with the latest linux (2.6.32.15) and
there is miserable compile failures.  It looks like klibc wants some headers
to be in include/asm (linked in my case to include/asm-x86) but they are
instead in include/asm-generic (it seems all headers but one are in there).

I put together this script to be sure I was doing the steps consistently for
each attempt (and also starting with a pristine set of files each time):

Here is one of the bad results (running the above script):

I added a step to copy include/asm-generic to include/asm and that seemed to
help some.  But there was nothing in the README files about needing to do
that.  Here is a lot of that result:

Does someone know the way I should be doing this?
