However, I think that syncronization is an admirable >goal which would nonetheless be better achieved in other ways. :) The fact that the sys include files are duplicated in /usr/include is the problem. They shouldn't be there - there probably shouldn't be any symlinks, either, but those are probably better than trying to fix it up in cpp. The kernel include files belong in the /sys tree and nowhere else. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
