The split itself is a red herring. What breakage exists is due to source that tries to include kernel headers from /usr/include/linux and/or /usr/include/asm in userspace (always a risky proposition), and now gets confused because those headers are newer than the ones it expected. > is this a debian issue, a linux issue or should the sources > of for example mplayer be changed? Ultimately the source will have to be fixed as more and more distributions start using newer kernel headers. I believe the Debian glibc maintainers are patching around problems in this area for sarge.
