Why is this desirable? There are numerous <sys/...> headers which define/describe interfaces between userland and the kernel (which to at least some extent ELF is); a simple example is <sys/socket.h>. Admittedly, for ELF the situation is complicated by ELF being externally defined. But then, so, to at least some extent, are many of the things defined/described by <sys/...> headers: <sys/socket.h>, for example, describes APIs defined by history, and, ultimately, by a few people at UCBerkeley. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML [email protected] / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
