I haven't seen anything break on hppa. I've been testing with a recent
kernel that doesn't have a user.h.

I checked in a blank sys/user.h for hppa upstream ports.
http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/ports/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/hppa/sys/user.h?rev=1.1&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&cvsroot=glibc

As far as I know gdb was the only user, and the hppa gdb port didn't use user.h.

Cheers,
Carlos.
