I won't stand for it. Neither will I. It's a recipe for new and interesting bugs. If the problem with the symlinks should be fixed at all, it should be made so that each header has it's own symlink in /usr/include/sys/*. These can still indirect through /sys to make it easy to reassign the whole thing (/usr/include/sys becomes a directory with symlinks to the headers in /sys/*). -DG
