having never worked with unifdef before, i guess i was being overly
optimistic in thinking that it, if i "unifdef"ed __KERNEL__, it might
at least simplify the expression.  oh, well ... live and learn.
userspace should be worrying about userspace, so having the socket.h
and stat.h pollute the namespace in the non-glibc case is wrong and
pretty much prevents any other libc from utilizing these headers
sanely unless they set up the __GLIBC__ define themselves (which
sucks)

Ack from me.  I'd love to see this applied so uClibc could
stop have to define __GLIBC__


klibc uses these definitions, but the right thing to do is to have libc ask for it:

#if defined(__KERNEL__) || defined(__EXPORT_LINUX_SOCKET_H)

/* ... */

#endif

That way, klibc can just

#define __EXPORT_LINUX_SOCKET_H
#include <linux/socket.h>
