2.6.39). While the proper fix is to ensure these packages can cope with
older headers, for MACHINES shipping 3.0+ kernels, seems to me we should
be using the linux-libc-headers matching the kernels. I know this has
come up in the past, but I don't recall if we have clearly stated and
justified what our policy is here.


They should match were possible. I updated master to have 3.0 and 3.1
headers and no longer have .37 as the default.

Where is the 2.6.37 trickling in ? i.e. which boards/branch ?

Any thoughts on this?

This was on fri2 yocto/standard/fri2.

What does your: meta/conf/distro/include/tcmode-default.inc have
as the default ? It should be LINUXLIBCVERSION ?= 3.1.

I'm talking about master for that default. In the release branches
it was still back on 2.6.37.

Is that being overridden somewhere in meta-intel that would trigger
the 2.6.37 (the old default) ? I didn't find anything, but that doesn't
mean I didn't miss it.
