It seems to me that I remember reading that the glibc people have since
changed glibc to the point that it doesn't really use the kernel headers
for its public interface.
While that may or may not be true, there are still a *lot* of ioctl's
which are only defined in kernel header files. So user mode programs
either need to define such ioctl's themselves or use kernel header
files....
Fortunately the header files that include such ioctl and structure
definitions are usually set up to be less likely to screw up user-mode
utilities, these ioctl's really should get defined by glibc at some
point.
