Description
according to the Glibc 2.2.5 documentation the kernel headers in /usr/include/asm & usr/include/linux should be from the latest version of linux-2.2.x which is 2.2.20 or 2.2.21-rc3 also certain programs complain about problems with linux/time.h: ive checked this and the problem is caused by missing definitions which are usually found in linux/autoconf.h

ok ive done some testing with the glibc and linux-2.2.20 headers
back when i was using lfs 3.0 i never had any problems with the software - ive successfully built 3.3 using the 2.4.18 headers and 2.2.20 headers and it would seem that using 2.2.20 headers causes a few problems: when i run mke2fs it complains about "File size limit exceeded" it never did when i was using 2.4.x headers - so i think this bug needs closing
Regarding the linux-2.2 headers: I am not convinced it's actually necessary. Especially considering that we have been using 2.4 kernel headers for a very long time now in LFS and never, ever has somebody reported problems with it.
That said, we will investigate it.
About the time.h problems: can you give us some example packages that fail?
