just for the entertainment value, i ran "make headers_install" on my
x86 box using the newer "sunifdef" utility, which has the advantage
that it will remove parts of compound preprocessor conditionals.
here's the diff output between the old and the new generated header
directories:
diff -r include.orig/asm/posix_types_32.h include.sunifdef/asm/posix_types_32.h

< #endif
in addition, sunifdef whined as follows:
UNIFDEF include/linux/netlink.h
sunifdef: /home/rpjday/k/git/include/linux/netlink.h: line 205:
warning 0x02070: Garbage following preprocessor directive in "#if PAGE_SIZE < 8192UL" (#if line 152 depth 2)
i'm guessing it's that "UL" suffix it doesn't like.
