Hello,

almost two years ago, a decision has been made that raw kernel headers are for the kernel only, and that userspace should be built against some "sanitized" kernels. Linux-Libc-Headers (http://ep09.pld-linux.org/~mmazur/linux-libc-headers/) were one of the implementations of such sanitized headers, and they worked well and were used e.g. in Linux From Scratch.

But now, the Linux-Libc-Headers project looks dead: no commits in the SVN for the last two months, and the only changes in SVN as compared to LLH 2.6.12.0 are addition of inotify.h, removal of some kernel-only headers and some minor fix for non-glibc systems.

What is the recommended (non-dead) alternative implementation of such "sanitized" headers? Where is the roadmap for this area?
