Hello all,

I have a problem with kernel header files >2.3.30.

There's a '#define RLIM_INFINITY (~0UL)' in asm-i386/resource.h
which prevents autoconf to detect the sys/resource.h header file:

checking for a BSD compatible install... /bin/install -c
checking for ANSI C header files... yes
checking for sys/resource.h... no

-------------------------------
#include <sys/resource.h>

int main()
{ return 0; }
-------------------------------

[patrick@tony ~/src] gcc test.c
In file included from /usr/include/sys/resource.h:25,
from test.c:1:
/usr/include/bits/resource.h:109: warning: `RLIM_INFINITY' redefined
/usr/include/asm/resource.h:25: warning: this is the location of the
previous definition

Should I recompile glibc to fix this, or is the following trivial
patch to asm-i386/resource.h correct ?

It just moves '#ifdef __KERNEL__' before the offending line.

cheers,
