That's possible a problem. Right. Someone with contacts to Debian here?
If Debian hasn't rebuilt glibc against the new headers, we could change
it without problems.
If not, we have a problem on AC... Anyone with a glibc that was compiled
against our patched unistd.h (so including the new syscall numbers),
will not be able to upgrade the kernel, but also needs to upgrade glibc
and then *must* reboot :-(
Best,
Oliver
