Easily fixed. I have considered doing a glibc-header-compat package, which provides various nonstandard headers (sys/ aliases, sys/queue.h, etc.) out of tree. I don't think they belong in tree. BTW, util-linux will probably need to check unistd.h for an adequate standards-support (_XOPEN_VERSION/_POSIX_VERSION). Allegedly, they support every libc out there, and a number of older ones don't even have .
