No, although in fact that _is_ the only reason we use these horrid __uXX types rather than proper C datatypes, isn't it? I'm suggesting that if you want to change things around as you did, you should make sure the users of those headers adapt to cope. You did fix the in-kernel users; you neglected to fix glibc -- and as far as I can tell you didn't even bother to _warn_ glibc folks. We need to do better than that. The dark ages where we used to toss a pile of crap over the wall and declare it was someone else's problem are now behind us, thankfully. -- dwmw2 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
