Ah,
I remember I found that in debian [1] when I recently adapted klibc to
build with linux-libc-headers and not against a kernel tree like
before.
(I had to add mtd headers to be able to build ubi-utils-klibc wich was
packing older mtd headers)

This gives the big advantage of producing arch-specific packages and
not machine-specific (bound to the machine kernel)

Please give us a clue about the proper way to fix it.

Thanks

Andrea
